common udpkg and uapt-get functionality
Ive been working on a uapt-get.
Currently status is that it can process //etc/apt/source.list and fetch
the Packages.gz and Source.gz files by calling wget, then to merge the
package files i am calling "dpkg --merge-avail <package name>" to
generate a correct //var/lib/dpkg/available file.
To do the equivvalent of apt-get install, i intend to use functionality
similar to that which provides dpkg -s and dpkg -l.
There may be other dpkg functionality that uapt-get could use, but
currently i have just noticed the above three commands
I know you want to keep udpkg simple, but i think it would be best if
functionality that could be common to both udpkg and uapt-get should go
in udpkg as uapt-get is suppsoed to be a frontend.
If this is a bad idea let me know, or else i will look to implementing
extra functionality into udpkg.
