Thanks for the feedback. It's difficult to know what to put on the main page and what to leave out. > I want to know what's on my system, Every program you've run at least once is on your system, unless you explicitly removed it. To see the list, do: $ 0launch --gui Then click on 'Show Cache'. There is one subdirectory in your cache for each version of each package. All of a package's files are contained inside its directory. If you want to remove a package, deleting its directory is sufficient. > and I want to be able to use my applications even if I go offline. It would be a poor system indeed that didn't support that ;-) I run most of my desktop using Zero Install, and I'd be pretty annoyed if it stopped working every time I went on a plane! > I know there is a cache (hopefully) but it doesn't seems to me there is > a real control of it (I may be wrong, this is just how I taught). What kind of control are you looking for? A directory is added for each new version of every program you add. Directories are removed when you delete them. > And using an URL to identify a software makes me fearful I could not > use it if I don't have Internet access As in the URL-based scheme you that proposed at the start of this thread, this isn't the case. If you have access to the software from some other source (e.g. a CD) then you can use that instead. > Also, I don't usually have much space on my hard disk, so i don't want > either to have a cache full of applications I just used once and i will > never use again. You could always delete them. Personally, I find hard-disk space is growing faster than the amount of software I use and hasn't been a limiting factor for some time ;-) We might be smarter about this in the future (e.g. something like "deborphan"). You could even delete the entire cache (~/.cache/0install.net normally, or /var/cache/0install.net if you enabled sharing between users). -- Dr Thomas Leonard http://rox.sourceforge.net GPG: 9242 9807 C985 3C07 44A6 8B9A AE07 8280 59A5 3CC1 _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
