The Advanced Packaging Tool (APT) is one of the best tools I've ever used; since I started using Ubuntu Linux, I could appreciate its simplicity.

To make a long story short, I've built an addon to port this Debian tool to IPCop, together with a repository containing several addons packaged as ”.deb” files.

For details on using the repository and a package list, see the Repository section.

To install this addon, simply execute these commands:

cd /wherever/you/downloaded
tar zxf ipcop-apt-x.y.z.tgz
cd ipcop-apt
./install

To remove this addon, you should issue these commands:

cd /wherever/you/downloaded
tar zxf ipcop-apt-x.y.z.tgz
cd ipcop-apt
./uninstall
