Urpkg is a software to install programs in a safe and undoable way. It is especially useful to install program from source when no package from your distribution is available. It is then very easy to uninstall the programs you don't want anymore. Urpkg was originally inspired by the LFS Package user hint .
Urpkg works by creating a new user for each package it has to install. The package is then installed with the privilege of the new user. This prevents a new package from overwriting file from another package for example.
Fixed a formatting bug in the manpages
The latest version is 1.6: tarball for version 1.6
You can still download the other versions
Urpkg has a user manual. You can read the online version with one page for each node or with everything on one page
You should always refer to that manual first before asking a question or reporting a bug.
If you want to report a bug, or simply have a question or comment, you are very welcome to send me an email
