Es una herramienta para gestionar los PPA en Ubuntu y Linux Mint.
Esta es la lista de cambios de la nueva versión:
added “update-ppa” which can update a single PPA source and not all software sources, useful for those with limited internet connectivity. Usage example: sudo update-ppa ppa:webupd8team/y-ppa-manager (thanks Satya)
- when adding a PPA, the new “update-ppa” is used automatically so only that PPA source is updated, not all software sources
- added man pages (thanks Satya)
- automatically support newer Ubuntu versions (so this means the new version works on Ubuntu Quantal now)
- fixed a bug that was occuring on Linux Mint 13, causing the default version to be set as blank
- Scan for duplicate sources files now displays the number of duplicates found
- the PPA backup feature now backs up / restores repositories keys too (launchpad-getkeys was and is still used to automatically fetch missing keys)
- other minor fixes
Con Y PPA Manager podremos:
- Buscar paquetes en todos los PPA de Launchpad.
- Listar y descargar paquetes de un PPA.
- Agregar y remover PPAs de nuestra source.list
- Hacer backups de los PPA y lógicamente poder restaurarlos.
- Además soporta quicklist en Unity
