No I mean the whole mechanic. When you start the package manager, you get to
choose which repository to connect to. Typically either a CD (that come with
QNX) or the WWW (for the official up-to-date QNX repository), or simply the
one made by a third party.
Then you got a huge tree of every existing package you don't have. Just to
check-box every one you got, and press Go ! Everything is automatically
downloaded/copied and installed. So once in a whiel you can just take a
look at the repository, and you see want's new.
I don't know if it's correctly explained, but the result is VERY good. But
I don't know how work the package manager of Debian, tho. Is it the same
kind of mechanic ?
