Happy to see Keryx 1.0 released and the users are started using it :) :) :) Awesome work :) :)
*Catchy features and it will be really useful for the users :* - Premade profiles download - Clean download progress window - Managing multiple profiles - Simplified UI *Few of the bugs which i have found:* - *Serious : *Downloaded a specific program (ex: cpuid) after i restarted the keryx and clicked Manage of same profile and selected the same program (ex:cpuid) which shows "Not Installed". - *Serious : *Parallel downloading packages for multiple profiles crashed keryx - Bug 697101 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/keryx/+bug/697101> - *Serious : *The status shows installed and that specific program[ex:cpushare] deb file is created with 0bytes when downloads are cancelled. - *Minor :* Kept the preferences tab opened and downloaded specific program[ex:cpushare] once downloaded it moves to preferences tab rather the packages list page. *Features can be added:* - Showing download tab visible [or something like the status/summary page where can see what all happening which allows the user to understand the packages downoloaded, programs are downloaded...] - Highlighting the programs which already downloaded in different color. Chris/ Mac - Are we maintaining wiki which shows features to be added/TBD list ? It will be useful to keep track of things to be done. -- Thanks, RSK On Fri, Dec 31, 2010 at 12:36 AM, mac9416 <[email protected]> wrote: > Awesome work.
