Hello, As you know, I'd like to experiment with prototyping some new interface concepts for package managers.
I put together a prototype backend and hacked a cmd-based shell interface for it. You should be able to fetch it with: bzr branch http://people.debian.org/~enrico/2007-01/popcon/ The files involved are pm.py, pmnew and a very little bit of anapop.py. You run it with ./pmnew. The commands are: * search Set the search string for tags * tags Show the list of available tags * desired Set a tag as desired: only packages having that tag will be shown * undesired Set a tag as undesired: packages having that tag will not be shown * nevermind Set a tag as neither desired nor undesired * filter Limit results to a specific kind of packages (any, devel, games, gui...) * packages Show the (filtered) list of available packages * info Show details about a package * install Install a package * quit Quit the program This can be an example session to try: tags search toy tags packages tags desired 1 packages info 3 If you: * have popularity-contest installed and running * are online * have a writable directory called ~/.debtags then the list of available packages will be sorted using my recent web interface prototype for popcon-based suggestions. Matt Good and Thomas Viehmann volunteered to have a try at a GUI. This can only be fun. Ciao, Enrico -- GPG key: 1024D/797EBFAB 2000-12-05 Enrico Zini <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
