| | | | Rupert Hausberger have released a beta of the MorphUp software.
Here is a small introduction to MorphUp taken from the documentation,
To use applications on AmigaOS/MorphOS users have very often to go to several different websites, download, extract and install the files manualy. This is time consuming and can lead to a messed up system.
MorphUp is a package manager to solve this problem. It is implemented in two parts, the generator and the client. The generator is used to generate the packages, which can be hosted on any http-server and the client is used to fetch them and handle them, on the target machine...
