Aurelien, I visited your page and wanted to offer some questions/feedback: <ul><li>If you have a back and forward button, why not simply use a web browser?</li><li>What does this application do that <a href="http://www.apturl.net/index.php/package/search/?q=firefox&commit=Go&version=Intrepid">apt-url</a> doesn't already do?</li> <li>I frequently use the 10.04 Ubuntu package manager and find it very useful 90% of the time (the interface is notoriously clunky, but it's icons, thumbnails, descriptions, visual feedback are pretty solid). Is there an initiative to leverage similar behavior?</li> <li>When will a package manager start "graying-out" debug tools and library dependencies so people like my mother aren't bombarded with "amarok-dbg", "kamefu-data" when she just wants "amarok"? </li></ul>I like the idea and I'd like to see more, but at the end of the day I only need one package manager, and in kde, it's konsole. -Tres <div class="gmail_quote">2010/6/1 Aurélien Gâteau <<a href="mailto:aurelien.gateau@canonical.com">aurelien.gateau@canonical.com</a>> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">Hi, Since I have lots of free time :), I played this weekend with an idea of mine: a simple tool to install/remove packages. The tool is named Kapti, this wiki page will let you learn more about it and even install it: <a href="http://gitorious.org/kapti/pages/Home" target="_blank">http://gitorious.org/kapti/pages/Home</a> What makes it a bit different than other tools is that it's a web-like UI: you click links to install/remove packages or view the detailed information of a package. This is quite handy because for example the detailed information presents the suggests/recommends list as links, so you can easily learn more about a suggested package, click its "Install" link, then click the "Back" button to return to the previous package you were reading about. I do not intend to develop this as a competitor to KPackageKit and I already talked with Daniel Nicoletti, the KPackageKit maintainer (who is CC to this mail), about this. I see Kapti as an experiment on the UI, something which maybe could be integrated in KPackageKit later (but there is nothing precise right now). I am interested in your feedback, especially regarding the fact that it behaves a bit like a web browser. Aurélien DISCLAIMER: I created Kapti in my (ever shrinking) free time, Canonical is not involved in it. -- kubuntu-devel mailing list <a href="mailto:kubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com">kubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-devel" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-devel</a> </blockquote></div> -- - <a href="mailto:Tres.Finocchiaro@gmail.com">Tres.Finocchiaro@gmail.com</a>
