Rover is a text-based light-weight frontend for update-alternatives, built on top of termbox. It was inspired by the ranger file browser. There are several similar works that provides graphical frontend to update-alternatives: galternatives and kalternatives. However, Rover still have some advantages compared to these implementations: . 1. User doesn't need to move hand off the keyboard. 2. Extremely light weight implementation with zero GUI overhead. 3. Support search by substring and Python regex. 4. Not bound to X service. Usable under tty. 5. Much easier to maintain as a native package due to short code.
