Package: auto-apt
Version: 0.3.20
Severity: wishlist

Let me list my wishlist.  Very interesting program but this will be much
more useful by adding these featurs.  I believe changes are minimal and
it can make sarge :-)

1) Can you replace "apt-get install" with "aptitude install" if aptitude
   is available on system?

      * /usr/bin/auto-apt
       Something along ...
       
       if [ -x /usr/bin/aptitude ]; then
         aptitude -y install $1
       else
         apt-get -u -y install $1
       fi
       
      * /usr/lib/auto-apt/auto-apt-installer
        This is Perl but I am sure you can do similar for

        @aptinstall = qw(sudo apt-get -y install);

   Benefit: auto-install tracking feature of aptitude will enable to
            remove all the packages installed through dependency by
            simply issuing "aptitude remove ...".

2) Can you make auto-apt to pass commandline arguments?
      * from commandline
         --with-recommends      --with-suggests
         --without-recommends   --without-suggests
         -r -g -R -G  (See bug #243289)
      * from ~/.aptitude/config 
        (default function of aptitude as long as no option is used.)

3) Can you add aptitude to "Recommends:" in debian/control

4) Can you add loging feature to record followings /var/log/auto-apt.log
       * Time of auto-apt induced install
       * Package name installed directly by auto-apt

Thank you in advance.

Osamu
