You could also just add the .depend files in the apk's (dynamically created as explained before) and then create a apt-get clone on top of apkg. the benefit is you have to add very little code to current apkg (only a check if deps are installed or if a skip-dependency-check-flag is turned on) and then let apt-get find the dependencies. That way you can be backwards compatible and people who don't need/want the dependency check don't need to have the extra code installed. You could also add remote fetching and checksum checking. Just so you have some alternative ideas. > > <snip> -- Natanael Copa ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
