Package: apt
Version: 0.5.28.6
Severity: wishlist

Hi,
I was thinking about a new feature, maybe it is not a new one... If a
maintain a server or 2-3 desktop machine, it will be cool to install or
remove or upgrade packages like this:

# apt-get install kdm@192.168.1.34  [return]
# Password :

then you give the root password of the machine (here it is 192.168.1.34)
and then apt goes ssh to it and install kdm in it, the screen messages,
like: do you want to continue ? appears on the local machine, not on
192.168.1.34 

Sorry for my bad explanation, but I hope you understand what I mean or
just ask me back

Thanks

Guillaume Florey

Every program attempts to expand until it can read mail.
 -- Zawinski's law

APT does a lot, but doing secure login to another machine and running on
it is not one of the things it can do at the moment and I don't think it
should grow such an option. We are well past the "do one thing and do it
well" of course, but programs are objectively better in all ways to log
into remote machines, so apt shouldn't try to compete in this area… You
are better of combining the tools who do the job they do best then
implementing everything in one.

Closing as wontfix therefore.


Best regards
