FPI is the Foreign Package Installer, an alien-like utility for Solus that
converts between package formats. The initial idea is to convert .deb files
into native .eopkg files for installation on Solus. This is used in more
extreme situations where certain packages are not readily usable on Solus due to
being restricted in format and distribution. The main goal is in providing the
user with at least some method to install the packages locally.
Long story short, users will be able to download those previously inaccessible
.deb files through their browser and install it with FPI with no fuss or
interference.
ypkg(to convert to.eopkg)arfrombinutils(extract.deb)tar(extract.debinnards.)- Python. I know, I'm sorry. But
eopkgis still Pythonic at this moment in time.
fpi is available under the terms of the GPL-2.0 license.
