Subject: Some suggestions for the apt method in dselect
Organization: CNUCE-CNR, Via S.Maria 36, Pisa - Italy +39-50-593211
Package: apt
Version: 0.1.1
Severity: wishlist
I don't know if the dpkg apt method bugs should be reported to apt. If
not, please redirect this message to the proper place.
The first three problems were correctly handled in the ftp method.
- "Update" downloads the Packages files even if they have not been
upgraded. The date and size should be used to avoid the download
whenever possible.
- "Update" does not stop (asking for a keypress) after having gotten the
Packages files. This way, one often loses some messages because they
disappear.
- "Install" does not stop (asking for a keypress) after having gotten
the deb files. This is unfortunate, as I use to let dselect download
everything while I work on another console (it usually takes a long
time), then I look at what's happening during installation after
having pressed Enter.
- One thing that was not available even in the ftp method: a log of the
installation and configuration phase would be very handy.
Thanks
