All your apt UIs are belong to deity
Howdy,
Just a quick note to let everyone know that the new previously and currently
in-the-works apt interface suite, deity, is now available for testing in unstable.
(testing in unstable? seems like a bit of a contradiction .. :)
In any case, the aim of deity was to take the base of capt and create a new
improved modularised system in which we could build multiple user interfaces
on top of, such as curses, gtk, and perhaps framebuffer soon. Another aim I
guess, to put it into debianplanet's words, would be: "to replace the broken
console-apt and gnome-apt frontends".
Some improvements include better filters, multiple screens, real expandable
tree representations of packages, customizable colors, threaded package
acquisition, amongst other things. Currently the two UIs available are Gtk
and Curses.
Anybody who feels brave enough, feel free to deliver suggestions and comments.
Cheers,
Patrick
