Well, I like a feature that my aix 3.2.5 box has. Software [packages] may be committed, which makes them permanent on the system. They can also be applied, which allows removal in case of problems, reverting back to the [old] committed software. Of course, it would be nice to be able to commit the applied packages. :) -- Walter L.

New Package Manager Lib
I've started work on a package manager library that will hopefully combine the best features of Debian's DPKG and Redhat's RPM systems. My work upto this point is available at http://users.quicklink.net/~gith/ and it is FAR from complete. In fact it's just in its beginning stages. Some of the documentation is half finished and the code is bad in several places as I'm still in the process of fleshing out the direction I'd like to take this in. If anyone would like to contribute to this project, please have a look at it and email me. It would really, REALLY be nice if someone would step forward and write an implemetation of the RIPEMD-160 hash function to be incorporated into the library as a replacement for MD5. Any *constructive criticism* is welcome, ( in fact I'd love to hear everyone's ideas along the lines of i wish it would/could do this or that ). - Willie Daniel [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://users.quicklink.net/~gith/ Linux-GGI Project: http://synergy.foo.net/~ggi/ -
