Type: desktop-application
ID: org.debian.deb_gview
Package: deb-gview
ProjectLicense: GPL-3.0-or-later
Name:
  C: deb-gview
Summary:
  C: Gtk viewer for Debian package files
Description:
  C: >-
    <p>Old name: dpkg-view. Changed to avoid a conflict with the dpkg- namespace. deb-gview is designed for Debian developers, Debian
    applicants / sponsorees and the simply curious.</p>
    
    <p>By default, File|Open displays the list of packages in the apt cache: /var/cache/apt/archives/ deb-gview also loads .deb
    files directly from the command line. This can be used with file managers like Nautilus to open .deb files from a file viewer window.
    This is not enabled automatically, yet. e.g. to enable this in Nautilus, right click a .deb file, select Open and select "Debian Package
    Viewer" from the list. Nautilus will now use deb-gview to open .deb files in future.</p>
    
    <p>deb-gview (&gt;= 0.1.0) can also load the .deb files listed in a .changes file, each in a new window. deb-gview (&gt;=
    0.1.0) can load a .deb or a .udeb from a local filesystem or a remote repository.</p>
    
    <p>deb-gview will remain a .deb viewer rather than being extended to cope with any .tar.gz</p>
