- APT (Advanced Package Tool) is a dependency tool, well known
- to Debian users since it is used by default with their dpkg
- packages. But apt has been ported to work with RPM packages
- too, by Conectiva, who has now used it for some time in
- their GNU/Linux distribution. The good news is that apt for
- RPM may be used with any other RPM-based distribution. All
- you need is the tool compiled for your version of RPM and at
- least a repository where RPM packages and their apt metadata
- can be downloaded from.
