[ Thanks to Falko Timme for this link. ]

"So I wrote a simple wrapper for various package management systems. It serves two purposes:

"to free me from remembering the exact commands for different systems

"to help me keep track of what packages I installed For example, when I need to install e.g. vim, I always say pkg-install vim, and the wrapper would invoke aptitude, apt-get or yum depending on the current system."
