The libpackman (Package Management) library provides a single API for accessing multiple package formats and package databases.

Libpackman's module support allows for other developers to quickly provide support for new package formats and database formats.

Libpackman is in the alpha stage. It currently supports reading of RPM packages, partial reading of Debian packages, reading of the RPM database, and reading/writing of the GNUpdate database. Packages can be queried, but installation is, for the moment, disabled.

To keep an eye out on the status of libpackman, visit the ChangeLog, or subscribe to the CVS listserv on our ListServs page.

The current release of libpackman is version 0.3.2.
