Description: Debian System Wide Information Manager
SWIM is a powerful package information and distribution research tool
for both an installed Debian distribution or not-installed virtual
Debian distribution(s) allowing querying of software packages with a
variety of package information options, and powerful searches. Virtual
options which include ftp, installation, and package removal capabilities
23 years ago
can be seamlessly combined with querying or searches. SWIM can be used on
23 years ago
computer systems which either have, or do not have a Debian distribution
installed.
.
Presently, the virtual options are not working with the new Debian archive
hierarchy, so help information doesn't reflect them anymore. In the near
future, all -n options will be handled directly through apt-cache
information and apt cache management rather than through huge databases.

The virtual filesystem will still be managed by a database, and

Contents.gz listings will also be reinstated.
