FDNPKG can install, remove, update (automatically or on demand) FreeDOS packages, either from online repositories (http and/or gopher), as well as from local repositories (like from a CDROM). FDNPKG capabilities are probably quite self-explanatory when one looks at its help screen. FDNPKG v0.98 Copyright (C) Mateusz Viste 2012, 2013 This is a network package manager for FreeDOS. Usage: FDNPKG action [parameters] Where action is one of the following: search [string] - Search net repositories for package containing 'string' vsearch [string] - Same as 'search', but prints also source repositories install pkg - Install the package 'pkgname' (or local zip file) install-nosrc pkg - Install the package 'pkg' (or local zip file) w/o sources install-wsrc pkg - Install the package 'pkg' (or local zip file) with sources remove pkg- Remove the package 'pkgname' listlocal [str] - List all local (installed) packages containing 'str' listfiles pkg - List files owned by the package 'pkg' checkupdates - check for available updates of packages and display them update [pkg] - update 'pkg' to last version (or all packages if no arg) dumpcfg - print out the configuration loaded from the cfg file license - print out the license of this program FDNPKG is linked against WatTCP version below: Watt-32 (2.2.10), GNU-C 3.4.4 (386), djgpp 2.03, Dec 12 2013 Mateusz -- ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
Re: [Freedos-user] opengem
Will you 1) be moving your project hosting and 2) porting to DJGPP 2.05?

DOS doesn't have OpenGL (except > software-only ancient versions of Mesa, which was never widely used in > most DJGPP programs). I believe the vim version I used in DOS was 7.0, 32-bit. I just visited vim.org website, 7.1 was the last for DOS 16-bit, and 7.3 was the last for DOS 32-bit. I never used VILE, was put off by "like Emacs" part. Now I see vim has moved to GitHub. I think FDNPKG is simply a binary installer, can it update? But FreeBSD ports and pkgng, and NetBSD pkgsrc, and Gentoo portage, are no doubt much more advanced. Difficulties and limitations with DOS software, especially on modern computers, cause me to not do much in that area; a long time since I last used a text editor in DOS.
