History
It is unclear when Carripook station was opened. It consisted of one 67 metre platform with a waiting shelter.
The station closed on 23 September 1987, when the State Transport Authority withdrew Bridgewater line services between Belair and Bridgewater. It was probably demolished around 1995 when the railway line was converted from broad to standard gauge.
gollark: "Search packages" is `pacman -Ss [whatever]`, "install" is `pacman -S [whatever]`, "update repos and update all packages" (it is apparently unsafe to update only individual packages) is `pacman -Syu`.
gollark: You pick a "subcommand" with a capital-letter flag like `-S` (sync, which seems to be a fancy word for "Install packages"), `-Q` (query information aboud stuff) and then pass extra flags to configure how that works.
gollark: > what's a pacman-like CLI?Arch Linux (btw I use that) has a neat package manager called `pacman`.> what counts as package updating support?Updating packages without breaking things horribly, including not overwriting user-edited (config) files.> and library interface as in an API you can use from scripts?Precisely.
gollark: Oh, and a library interface.
gollark: Well, I would want a pacman-like CLI, probably configurable repos, multiple files in a package, good package updating support, and... other stuff?
