Announce: Qaptivate 0.3 - GUI for APT
Hi peoples,
This is just to announce that there is a new release of Qaptivate which
is a (Qt libs*) GUI front end for apt-get and friends. It is now available
in .debs at either:
http://www.linuxmechanix.com/qaptivate.html
or
http://unilinux.sourceforge.net (in the ftp download area, follow the
link)
or you can add either of these two lines to your sources.list:
deb http://www.linuxmechanix.com/debian ./
or
deb ftp://unilinux.sourceforge.net/pub/unilinux ./
and use apt-get to install.
You must be running a recent woody - won't work in stable (even if you
rebuild). Qaptivate requires no extra configuration; just install and use.
Note: that qaptivate is still under active development and a few menu
items are not yet activated - but otherwise, (outside of a few funny but
harmless quirks ;=}) it works pretty well.
Also, if anyone is a security freak (obviously I'm not ...) I am quite
open to a constructive audit of the source. It is available in tarballs at
the sites mentioned and in cvs at the sourceforge site.
Cheers,
-erik
