W-Packager is a Linux-compatible package creation and maintenance tool, similar to dpkg, that allows users to easily build Debian packages. Its user-friendly interface enables anyone to utilize the software for package management.
At present, W-Packager is primarily used within UniGW, although it can also be employed on Linux operating systems. The current release of W-Packager is a comprehensive re-write in C++. It incorporates boost libraries, particularly the iostreams and boost-extras, to facilitate reading and writing Debian packages.
For additional information on how to use W-Packager, consult the documentation provided online or locate it in the package under doc. After the dev/create_docs script has been executed, the tool works flawlessly under Linux; however, its efficacy under MSYS needs to be ascertained.
This latest release boasts noteworthy enhancements, including its ability to check dependencies before installing or uninstalling packages, making for a more streamlined process.
