<plug level=blatant> Who says package management can't be Sexy? Be the first one on your block to try Gnome-apt, the new GUI front end for the Debian package tool. It slices... it dices... it makes fresh pasta... and it has a groovy search function! </plug> debs for gnome-apt are now available at http://www.debian.org/~mblevin/gnome-apt/ Gnome-apt is a gnomeified front-end for apt, written by Havoc Pennington. You can read more about gnome-apt at Havoc's page http://www.debian.org/~hp/gnome-apt.html Gnome-apt requires the latest cvs build of apt_0.3.0, which you can also find at the above site. All other dependencies should be available at your local Debian mirror. You can fetch both gnome-apt and the required cvs version of apt by adding the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://www.debian.org/~mblevin/gnome-apt ./ Please do _not_ send bug reports to the BTS. Send bugs directly to Havoc <hp@debian.org> and copy any packaging bugs to me <mblevin@debian.org> Patches and suggestions from gtk/gnome coders are appreciated. **DISCLAIMER** gnome-apt is ALPHA software, and manipulates the package database for your system. Please do not use unless you are willing to get your hands dirty or take risks. -Mitch
