tree

in the package tree, whether all packages, just the new ones, just the
updated ones or just the installed ones.

Whether to cache remote (FTPed) directories
and Package files.

Verity file list
-
If set the list of files in the package is
checked to see if they are actually installed
-
Read information from all local package files
-
If set all the files from a (local) package
directory are read instead of just using the files names, this is slower
but shows more information.
-
Location of uninstalled packages: RPM
-
This provides for specifying the location
of package directories (either local or FTP), each line includes an entry
where the URL or name of the directory can be typed in, a "..." button
that brings up a file selector and a "Use" radio button that determines
whether the directory given in the line is to be used or not. The multiple
panels are just for convenience.
-
Location of uninstalled packages: DEB
-
The first two panels work the same way as
for RPMs, the others allow the specification of a Debian distribution and
the location of Packages files in that distribution.
-
