A Software PAckage Manager interface utility for Unixen.

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 and a few other Unixy things.

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 easier to tweak the next command.
