Second-generation package manager

PackMan is a package manager for RISC OS. Building on the work of RiscPkg, which is no longer developed, PackMan is able to show you a catalogue of software currently available, to automatically download and install it, and to handling upgrading and removal of software you have already installed.

Package repositories PackMan is able to use can be found on riscpkg.org, riscos.info and riscosopen.org as well as other places.

PackMan is released under version 2.1 of the LGPL.

Note that the old PackMan site at alanb.drobe.co.uk is out of date and can no longer be updated.
