Synaptic is a computer program which is a GTK+ graphical user interface front-end to the Advanced Packaging Tool for the Debian package management system. Synaptic is usually used on systems based on deb packages but can also be used on systems based on RPM packages. It can be used to install, remove and upgrade software packages and to add repositories.

Features

* Manage multiple packages at a time.
* Source mixed multiple repositories such as ftp/http sites, network and local file systems.
* Package search utility.
* System wide upgrade

History

Synaptic development was funded by Conectiva, which asked Alfredo Kojima, then an employee, to write a graphical frontend for APT, continuing the work initiated with the creation of the APT RPM backend, apt-rpm. Eventually Synaptic became used in Conectiva's install process. Gustavo Niemeyer also worked on it, while working for Conectiva. It is now maintained by Michael Vogt.

Kynaptic

Kynaptic is a graphical package management tool based on KDE and APT using the same code base as Synaptic.
