Dear People in this list! I am quite new in using even Linux, but I missed a good package manager from the beginning. Then I've heared about the deity project and I just want to try the new manager if available.
I am only writing to you for an instruction where on earth can one find a package to download and what even more important a piece of something like a status report on the project. I am also wondering what is the relationship between the apt package, the dpkg-get package and the programs in the deity project. One more thing: I composed (for myself at the first place) the features of a package manager program that I would apprechiate most (items are not necessarily in the order of growing importance). Here they are: - console application (may run under X, but that isn't mandaroty) - standalone program in the means of it does not require other packages to run - preferably knows about and handles a number of package formats (sort of a built in alien feature: rpm, deb, etc.) - keeps track of installed packages and is able to create the dependendency tree of the installed packages any time up to a few level - before install checks the dependencies and selectably offers installation of needed and available packages - before uninstall also performes a dependency check and selectably offers removing those packages are not further required by any program - it should have a user friendly interface (like for example midnight commander has) I wrote in this just to ask your opinion about them.. Do I expect too much or.... I am not a programmer so (sigh) I cannot do such a thing by myself... Thank you for your answer in advance and sorry for my bad english. Best regards, Jozsef Bor, Hungary
