KPackage is dependent on the Smart package manager.

The main screen has two sections. The right-hand one will be empty until you select a package.

  • Package name
  • Descriptive summary
  • Size
  • Version installed

and, if a package is due to be updated that column will show the new version number, while the final column will show

  • version to be replaced.

It is possible, using the drop-down combo-box, to limit the display to

  • Installed packages
  • Available packages
  • New packages
  • Updated packages

There is a Mark column, for making your selection, and you can then use the Packages menu to install your chosen packages

Details window

The four tabs on the right-hand pane give all the information you could need about the selected package -
