What about a "web" application ? I mean not using any graphical toolkit. rpmdrake interface is only about listing programs, selecting single or multiple choices and pressing enter. html forms should be sufficient, simple, robust and portable for that purpose. More, we could run rpmdrake in console mode using links ;) Ha ya missing progress bars, you say ! Just look at what wget does. A window showing what happens in the background could be very usefull. And finally, some real warning about RPMNEW files created during install. just my 2 Euros... Pascal
