APT 3.0 introduces faster dependency resolution and new colours |
 |
People who run Debian or one of Debian's many derivative distributions will soon have a chance to try out a major new version of the APT package utility. APT 3.0 features a faster dependency solver, improved cryptography support, and coloured text to highlight important changes. "There are the new coloring changes that show up when installing, removing, or upgrading a package. As you can see below, when installing a new package, all its dependencies are shown in a familiar green color. I also checked out some other APT commands, such as the one for removing a package and all of its related dependencies. It showed me all the dependencies to be removed in red. I also ran the list command, which listed all the available packages for installation in a paginated list. These additions, coupled with the column padding, have definitely improved the readability of APT outputs by a big margin, and the slick progress bar at the bottom is like the cherry on top." An article on It's FOSS has a detailed look at APT 3.0. |
