README.md

This crate provides bindings to libapt-pkg.

Documentation and Examples

See the examples/ folder for some partial implementations of some commands.

License Note

While the code in this crate is available under a permissive MIT license, it is useless without libapt-pkg, which is GPL2+.

Building

libapt-pkg-dev must be installed. The gcc crate is used to try and find a native compiler.

Thread safety

It is intended that the crate should be usable from multiple threads. However, this is generally implemented using singletons, which may be really annoying for your use-case.

apt does not have a concurrency model: you may not use threads.

Since apt 1.4 or 1.5 (in Debian Stretch (2017), but not in Xenial 16.04), some operations are thread safe: it should be possible to initialise the cache twice in parallel. As these versions of apt are not widespread, the API of this crate does not attempt to expose this.
