A Software PAckage Manager interface utility for Linux.

SPAM - A Software PAckage Manager

To be honest, it's not really a package manager, but merely a wrapper that presents a uniform command-line interface across Linux distros.

Usage & Features

👉 Easy to type and use every day. For example, to operate on the foo package:

⏵ spam -h               # usage and additional/customized cmd list

⏵ spam up               # or update; upgrade
⏵ spam in foo           # or install
⏵ spam rm foo           # or uninstall
⏵ spam clean            # clean up downloads and autoremove

# Moar!
⏵ spam add foo://bar    # add repo
⏵ spam info foo         # or show
⏵ spam lsf foo          # or listfiles
⏵ spam pr /bin/foo      # or provides, what or who-owns file
⏵ spam pu foo           # or purge
⏵ spam se foo           # or search

👉 It knows when to invoke sudo, so you rarely need to worry about it.

👉 It prints the command it runs, so you can learn how to do it on a package manager you may not be as familiar with. Also, if it wasn't able to do what you want, it is easy to recover.

Support

Currently supports Debian apt and Fedora dnf, with hopefully more to come as time allows.
