PiSi is the package manager for Pardus. It integrates all commands to build, retrieve and manage your packages in the distribution.
Command basics
All PiSi commands are invoked in the command-line trough the `pisi` executable. To explore or remind commands, and if you can only remember two, those are the essentials :
# pisi help # pisi some_command --help
The PiSi packages are located in repositories. You can add or remove them by command-line.
# pisi lr pardus-2007 http://paketler.pardus.org.tr/pardus-2007/pisi-index.xml.bz2
To install a package, just use `pisi install` as root. You can also install foreign packages but it is not recommended. When you give a package name, it will be looked up in the previously mentioned repositories.
# sudo pisi install your_package # sudo pisi install http://host.tld/path/package-ver.pisi
To remove a package, it works exacly the contrary.
sudo pisi remove your_package
