yapo - Yet Another Ports Overview

yapo is a small ncurses application which simplifies port maintainance of the CRUX Linux distribution. See the screenshots to get an idea how yapo works.

yapo is written in ruby and makes use of the ncurses-ruby wrapper library. It is build on top of Johannes Winkelmann's great prt-get utility, the most important features of prt-get are available within yapo.

The main features of yapo:

install/update/remove ports
searching for ports with regular expressions
view meta-information and README file
view dependency information
view Pkgfile and .footprint
update the ports tree from the cvs repository
as of version 0.3.0 most commands of yapo are customizable in a configuration file.

Download:

yapo-0.3.2.tar.gz

I've prepared a static binary of yapo with rubyscript2exe.
You can use that to try out yapo without installing ruby and the ncurses-ruby library. Download this configuration file too, and copy it to /usr/etc/yapo.conf

yapo is part of the CRUX ports collection as well, see /usr/ports/opt/yapo.
