Kuroo is a user interface built on Gentoo Portage and emerge toolkit for managing software packages in Gentoo Linux.
Kuroo is a powerful frontend for the Gentoo Portage and emerge tool. It offers a wide range of features that make managing packages and the local Portage tree easy and efficient. With Kuroo, users can browse installed packages and update single packages or the entire system/world with just a few clicks. They can also unmask testing packages and find packages quickly by name or description.
One of the standout features of Kuroo is its "Gentoo Watcher" system tray tool, which allows users to monitor GLSA and the latest released packages. Additionally, Kuroo includes "glsa-check," a new experimental feature that checks packages for potential security vulnerabilities.
Other features of Kuroo include an overview of Portage directories' size, the ability to export installed packages to a Word file, and an automatic unmask support. Users can also take advantage of multiple portage overlay support, which allows them to install packages from various sources.
The latest release of Kuroo includes several enhancements and bug fixes. Some of the enhancements include the ability to set a custom buffer size in number of lines and the removal of included SQLite support in favor of an external SQLite library. Bug fixes include solving a glitch that showed a filter-related error when no updates were available and fixing an eclean bug that did not include minutes measure.
Overall, Kuroo is a comprehensive tool that offers a range of features for managing packages and Portage tree in a Gentoo system.
