I no longer plan on working on Tap. I've been busy working on other aspects of the makedeb ecosystem, and it's just taking too much time away from this to do anything meaningful on it.
If you still want to use an MPR helper, I'd suggest taking a look at the MPR helpers page in the makedeb Docs.
makedeb also has an official MPR CLI that provides some of the functionality Tap currently has, though any sort of functionality related to package management is notably missing at the moment.
Tap is a feature-rich MPR helper that aims to be a drop-in replacement for APT. Tap provides access to almost every command accessible by apt
, with MPR functionality integrated directly into said commands.
If you have an existing MPR helper, you can simply install Tap from there via the tap
package.
Otherwise, you can install Tap manually from the MPR:
git clone 'https://mpr.hunterwittenborn.com/tap'
cd tap/
makedeb -si
Users of the APT commandline tools will find most options readily available to them. All available commands can be found via tap --help
after installation.
Several commands have specific options available to them, those can be seen by running tap *command* --help
.
Issues with using Tap should be made inside of the project's issue tracker.
If a package fails to build with Tap, you should try building the package with makedeb before posting issues to the package maintainer or the makedeb issue tracker, as the issue may be rooted in Tap itself.
If you prefer a chatroom for obtaining support or just want to chat, Tap has a Matrix room located at #tap:hunterwittenborn.com.
