Red Carpet from Ximian should be released pretty soon, and I think will make a nice apt/dselect front-end. Drool over the shots here: http://www.ximian.com/apps/redcarpet.php3 Synaptic from Alfredo Kojima, the creator of Window Maker, also is an apt/dselect front end. The only problem is that there are too much packages in Debian, and it makes it crash (due to an XWindow limitation). This is getting fixed. http://freshmeat.net/articles/view/192/ And as far as gnome-apt is concerned, Havoc Pennington working for RH, I doubt that he will finish it himself. I know that somebody came to him asking for maintainership, but no code's shown up so far... Cheers /Bastien Nocera, waiting for RC http://hadess.net
