There's something called galternatives, a front end to update-alternatives, but it's dead upstream. > Packaging > --------- > 9.

Integrate all of the distros Bug Tracking Systems in a common framework looks like a big job, maybe we can work on a common interface showing the information taken from every bug tracking tool. BTS has a SOA interface and a LDAP gateway where all of the Bugs information is stored, I'm not sure how the others Bug tracking tools works. Maybe we can discuss some details about the Debian Webapps Policy[0] and Java [0] http://webapps-common.alioth.debian.org/draft/html/ Regards -- Gerardo Curiel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Geek By NaTure,LiNuX By ChOiCe,DebiAn of CoUrsE gpg fingerprint: 228B 0F96 8653 DF52 9740 B75E FB32 9C30 E179 7BD2 http://www.debian.org
