eopkg

also: eopkg-cli

eopkg is the package manager for Solus Linux, used to install, remove, update, and manage software packages from the Solus repositories.

eopkg (Evolving Operating Package Kit) is Solus Linux's native package manager, similar to apt in Debian or dnf in Fedora. It handles all aspects of software management including installation, removal, upgrades, and dependency resolution.

The tool reads from Solus's binary repositories and uses a format called .eopkg (essentially compressed archives with metadata). Common usage includes eopkg install package-name to install software, eopkg upgrade to update the system, and eopkg search keyword to find packages.

eopkg also provides eopkg-cli for advanced operations and integrates with Solus's Software Center GUI for graphical package management. It's optimized for Solus's rolling-release model and includes tools for managing system updates efficiently.
