> I suggested in a forum thread a few years ago that the graphical Add/Remove
Programs tool needed to only offer a select list of end user apps, which are
a) graphical, and b) as user-friendly as the Add/Remove Programs tool itself.
If you are writing a custom script for selecting its content, then that would
be easier to do.
> As mentioned in that older thread, I still think that CLI programs ought to
be installable only from a terminal. Would it be possible to write a script
that limits the list of programs in Synaptic to those who a GUI?
Sorry, I must have missed something here: Synaptic is a package manager, not
a Add/Remove program tool for GUI apps. Why should so many packages not be
manageable any more through it?
