Package: aptitude Version: 0.4.4-1 Severity: wishlist Hello,
thanks for aptitude, it's great software. And thanks for implementing some debtags support in it! aptitude reads tag data from the Packages file, which is good, especially in case debtags is not installed. In case debtags is installed, however, it can be set up to merge different tag sources together. This can be used by CDDs, or to aggregate 3rd party categories like the ones provided by iterating.org[1]. The merged tag database is available both as a binary index and as the text file /var/lib/debtags/package-tags It would be really good if, in case /var/lib/debtags/package-tags is present, the tag data would be taken from there instead of the Packages file. (note: if you are considering taking advantage of the mmap-able binary index as well, let me know and I'll do my best to help) Ciao, Enrico [1] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/debtags-devel/2006-November/001378.html -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-1-686 Locale: LANG=it_IT.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=it_IT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages aptitude depends on: ii apt [libapt-pkg-libc6.3-6-3. 0.6.46.3 Advanced front-end for dpkg ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.1.1-19 GCC support library ii libncursesw5 5.5-5 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libsigc++-2.0-0c2a 2.0.17-2 type-safe Signal Framework for C++ ii libstdc++6 4.1.1-19 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 Versions of packages aptitude recommends: ii aptitude-doc-en [aptitude-doc 0.4.4-1 English manual for aptitude, a ter -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
