Viewing Information About a Package September 9, 2005
Posted by Carthik in ubuntu.trackback
Ever heard of a new package, and wanted to know more about the package without doing a websearch? which, I am afraid, is what I used to do 😉
Well, the way to do it is to fire up your terminal and type:
$sudo apt-cache show
For example, for the “WordPress” package, I get:
$ apt-cache show wordpress

the GPL. It is the official successor of b2/cafelog, as b2 development
has stopped.
