You guys started to make so much fuss about wajig that I tried it yesterday. Wow, I fell in love with it. For those that don't know, it is a front-end for apt-get, dpkg, debsums, dpgk-repackage and other package management tools all with a clean and unified interface for the user. And it does something that I don't know how to do in aptitude (or, at least, the manual doesn't mention and nobody here was able to tell me how to do): list the packages sorted by size. This is especially useful for those moments when you are tight on disk and has to remove some big packages of little use. Surely a nice companion to both deborphan and debfoster (and I'd recommend both for those wanting to keep a tidy system). Another nice feature of wajig is that it generates a "snapshot" of those packages you have installed and which versions they are. Quite nice for making backups and for those disaster recovery situations. Hope this helps, Rogério Brito. -- Rogério Brito : [EMAIL PROTECTED] : http://www.ime.usp.br/~rbrito Homepage of the algorithms package : http://algorithms.berlios.de Homepage on freshmeat: http://freshmeat.net/projects/algorithms/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
