Hello Marcus!
I'm posting this from my laptop running Frugalware. What I did was
install Frugalware Base plus Subversion and Python and then I fixed
Libpypac to work with Frugalware. All I did was to add support for
different fileextensions and fileformats and a few other minor things.
When Libpypac was up and running I installed xorg, fluxbox and
Thunderbird using Libpypac and everything seems to work nicely. :)
As for your frontend you can write it in whatever gui toolkit you wish.
Your update manager should just take a few minutes to make it work with
Libpypac but a complete frontend like frugalpkg will take more time to
make. Just use the code in lazy-pac-cli, it's public domain. I'm just
using my cli protoype (lazy-pac-cli) but it would be cool if other
people joined the project and make it really work. To test it on
Frugalware just install it from Subversion, both libpypac-devel and
lazy-pac-cli-devel, and change the two global variables in the file
'lazy_pac_cli_devel/main_0.py' to '.fdb. and '-i686.fpm' and you should
be ready to go.
If you feel like it you can sign up at gna.org and I'll add you to the
project so you get svn access.
Greets and congrats for a very nice distro, almost as good as Arch. :P
And good luck with your jobseeking.

Well, that was not so much but a few things of those must be
changed/added in Libpypac and the rest can be handled by the
frontend. If you're interested I suggest that some of you Frugal
guys write a CLI frontend and I'll add you as a member to the
project and you'll get Subversion access. Then we'll see if you
should have your own complete Frugal-Libpypac or if we could make it
work in just one.
BMH1980?
That would be interessting. And it should be no big problem the
rewrite my GUI to use libpypac instead of my pacman lib. libpypac is
much more extensive than my.
But on the other site there is a big problem. Currently I must search
a new job. What is very time-consuming. :( So I don't know how often I
haven time to write it.
Since I have uploaded rc1 of my update manager I haven't written any
code. :(
Jens, what do you mean with client? A GUI or a frontend for console?
This is very important for me. Because I have some problems to
understand the curses module. But PyGTK isn't a problem.
Our current GUI, frugalpkg, that is written by me use PyGTK.
Generaly i would say it's better to work together on this project.
Teamworks makes the development faster and easier.
VMiklos, what do you plan for the future with pacman? Cooperate with
the Arch team, or our own pacman version?
I think that this is very important, too. If there will be to many
differences between Arch and Frugalware it doesn't make sense to put
all differences in the same lib. That will inflate it. But this
shouldn't stop us. ;)
At the weekend I should have time to check libpypac. How it works and
how I can use frugalpkg with it.
But how I say. I prefer teamwork on it. I think after this weekend I
can tell you more.
regards
BMH1980
