GUI for task selection
Hi,
OK, we can do consistency checks on task packages[1], and get a list
of packages to install with dpkg --set-selection.
Now it is time for selection the tasks to install. The slink disks use
a shellscript and whiptail to do this. What options do we have for
potato? Will it be textmode or graohic mode (I don't know how the
installation looks like currently)?I would be most gladful, if we
could use something that perl can interface with (so I can actually
help on it).
Maybe
Package: perlmenu
Priority: optional
Section: libs
Installed-Size: 178
Depends: libcurses-perl, perl5
Size: 86178
Package: libcurses-perl
Priority: optional
Section: libs
Installed-Size: 125
Depends: perl-5.005, libc6 (>= 2.1), libncurses4 (>= 4.2-3.1)
Size: 40774
Don't know if it fits in the base disks, or if there are other plans
for a UI.
Ciao,
Martin
[1] Adam, apt-get can't install docbook-stylesheets-doc on a fresh
system (according to the dryrun apt-get install in my script)
Package: docbook-stylesheets-doc
Depends: www-browser | httpd
When depending on a virtual package, one has to use a specific
alternative like navigator | www-browser.
