Package: deb-gview
ProjectLicense: GPL-3.0-or-later

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 (>= 0.1.0) can also load the .deb files listed in a .changes file, each in a new window.
deb-gview (>= 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
