Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Aptconf will allow users to configure sources.list via debconf. It will also contain a configlet for setting up sources.list via the GNOME Control Center, in druids, and potentially other settings.
The architecture will treat the existing sources.list as the canonical source for the current configuration; debconf will not be used as a registry. Additionally, every care will be taken to preserve user edits - comments, hand-edited repositories, and so forth. The primary user interface will consist of a list of repositories (with user-friendly descriptions, like "Debian stable archive") and the ability to select which will be active. The list of repositories shown will be configurable via repository descriptions dropped in a directory. Repositories with description will provide the option of selecting mirrors and enabling deb-src lines. Custom repositories and CD-ROMs will also be supported. Long-term, editing pins may also be supported, although it is not planned for the first release. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
