oma is a modern package management frontend for dpkg-based Linux distributions, developed by the AOSC (Anthon Open Source Community) project. It provides an interactive text-based interface for managing packages, with support for dependency resolution and system upgrades.
The tool automatically refreshes package lists before install and upgrade operations, reducing the need for manual repository updates. It aims to provide a user-friendly experience while maintaining compatibility with the underlying dpkg/apt infrastructure.
