Bug#387052: RFP: dwai-client -- Simple bash script that handles DWAI files.



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist


* Package name    : dwai-client
  Version         : 0.1.1
  Upstream Author : Name <lucio@sulweb.org>
* URL             : http://dwai.sourceforge.net/
* License         : GPL
  Programming Lang: Unix shell (bash)
  Description     : Simple bash script that handles DWAI files.
  The script integrates with web browsers at mime type level, using shared-mime-info. 
  
  DWAI stands for "Debian Web AutoInstaller", that is a set of tools to help deb package deployment and client side installation directly from the website where they are published. In short, someone builds a DWAI file for a deb package, then he deploys the DWAI file in a web page (not necessarily at the same website of the package) along with a "Install now!" button or link. Final users click the "Install now!" link in their browser, the browser receives the DWAI file and launches the dwai-client script (thanks to shared-mime-info). The dwai-client script parses the DWAI file and takes any action required to install the deb package.
  
  This package contains the client side bash script. Developers might want to use the dewmaster script to build DWAI files.
