So I hacked on this some tonight and it is pretty fun stuff. I have the build in place; I copied the Gnome build rather than the Apt build, in order to use all the Gnome .m4 stuff (but mostly because I understand how it works). Then I have about 200 lines of code which does something fairly unimpressive.
I had a look at the stuff in Apt CVS and it looks like very nice code and quite straightforward. I built it with no problem. Looks like everything I need is already in libapt-pkg, no? Is there any code lying around elsewhere which might be useful? I'm thinking I will check this in to Gnome CVS, unless you really want to integrate it into the Apt source tree (it would probably make a big old mess, due to all the Gnome dependencies). It would be neat to have a little beta ready by the next freeze, that should be easily possible. Havoc On Wed, 4 Nov 1998, Jason Gunthorpe wrote: > > I think this is a rather good idea.
