Re: hmm. CORBA admintool



Hi,

sorry for the delay. Have missed the mail, which wasn't CC'ed to me (when I
am in a hurry, I only searchformail directly to me, and check the lists once
a month).

Bruce Perens was the first one to suggest CORBA on this list (a LONG time
ago). He was going to port it to Gtk. I don't know how far he got.

We think of different things here, you are concerned about pre
installation configuration (or during/shortly after), I am thinking more
about post-installation configuration.

libdpkg is prolly a good start. A rewrite of dpkg more modular and using apt
etc would be another approach.
