1 Description

Debarchiver is a tool to sort debian packages in a automated way so that you can publish debian packages in a easy way.

2 Features

Sort debian packages in the "potato" way.

Generates the Packages and Sources files.

Prepared for web publishing.

The idea is to make a simpler version of the Debian katie software that is useable by system administrators and software publishers. Of course you should try to get your software in the Debian distribution but sometimes that is not possible or even good.

3 License

Debarchiver is licensed under GPL

4 Download

You can find the source and binary package at you local debian mirror.

If you are interrested in this project you can find the source.

Seems to exist an old backport to potato. http://www.interq.or.jp/libra/oohara/debian-unofficial/. Maybe you can find that on http://debian.opal.dhs.org/, but I do not remember. (My note, that version is quite buggy though.)

5 Documentation

Will be written. Some can be found with the source.
