This is great. There is no more reason not to like apt-get/aptitude for those GUI obsessed. Keep it up. Thank you so much for sharing as it's inspired me.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2010/6/1 Aurélien Gâteau <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:aurelien.gateau@canonical.com">aurelien.gateau@canonical.com</a>></span><br>

<br>
Since I have lots of free time :), I played this weekend with an idea of<br>
mine: a simple tool to install/remove packages.<br>
<br>
The tool is named Kapti, this wiki page will let you learn more about it<br>
and even install it:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://gitorious.org/kapti/pages/Home" target="_blank">http://gitorious.org/kapti/pages/Home</a><br>
<br>
What makes it a bit different than other tools is that it's a web-like<br>
UI: you click links to install/remove packages or view the detailed<br>
information of a package.<br>
<br>
This is quite handy because for example the detailed information<br>
presents the suggests/recommends list as links, so you can easily learn<br>
more about a suggested package, click its "Install" link, then click the<br>
"Back" button to return to the previous package you were reading about.<br>
<br>
I do not intend to develop this as a competitor to KPackageKit and I<br>
already talked with Daniel Nicoletti, the KPackageKit maintainer (who is<br>
CC to this mail), about this. I see Kapti as an experiment on the UI,<br>
something which maybe could be integrated in KPackageKit later (but<br>
there is nothing precise right now).<br>
<br>
I am interested in your feedback, especially regarding the fact that it<br>
behaves a bit like a web browser.<br>
<br>
Aurélien<br>
<br>
DISCLAIMER: I created Kapti in my (ever shrinking) free time, Canonical<br>
is not involved in it.<br>
