hmm. CORBA admintool
I've thought a bit about this now.
I apologise, to everyone that's added a filter to bounce my mail ;). I
should have thought more, sent less garbage on that last mail.
Anyway, a few *short* quips to begin discussion on:
What are the possibilities for doing debian-admintool with CORBA?
this could be achieved by simply splitting dpkg up into two segments: a
library implementing rudimentary tasks, ie
configure( packagename ), install( packagename ), purge( packagename )
and a client with logic as dpkg is now.
so, dpkg could theoretically operate on any machine in the network -- simply
by instantiating one interface per computer representing its package
management / configuration.
