Hello, a new library called "pkg" is now sitting in the NEW queue on its way to unstable.
Background: maintaining libept was too difficult for me, and I didn't need all of its complexity. After various discussions with mornfall on IRC about what went wrong with libept and how things could be done right, I've started to work on "pkg". The intent of pkg is to provide access to many data providers in a simple way. APT and Debtags are already implemented, popcon and a xapian full-text index of package descriptions should be coming soon. The intent of "pkg" is not to provide an enhanced APT wrapper that does 100% of what APT does and more, but to provide easy access to the most useful features of lost of different data sources about packages. I've already ported debtags and debtags-edit to it, and as soon as pkg passes NEW I'm going to upload the pkg version of debtags and debtags-edit to unstable as well. Ciao, Enrico -- GPG key: 1024D/797EBFAB 2000-12-05 Enrico Zini <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
