DESCRIPTION

eopkg is the command-line interface for the Solus package management system. It's used to install, remove, update, and manage software packages on a Solus operating system. eopkg utilizes a delta-based system for updating, meaning only the changes between versions are downloaded, saving bandwidth. It offers features such as dependency resolution, package verification, and repository management. eopkg can work with local and remote repositories and uses efficient packaging formats. The tool ensures system integrity by verifying package signatures and dependencies before installation. It streamlines software maintenance on Solus, offering simple commands for everyday tasks, and is actively maintained for security and stability.

PACKAGE REPOSITORIES

eopkg relies on package repositories to provide software. These repositories contain metadata and package files, allowing eopkg to find, download, and install software. Repository management is handled through the 'repo' subcommand.
Configuration files for repos are usually stored in `/etc/eopkg/repos.d/`.
