Hi, I would be interested in making KDE4/Qt4 based package manager. I am 2nd year student of computer science from Poland (Gdansk University of Technology, CET/CEST) with some experience in C/C++ and Qt programming and git as SCM. Currently during my spare time I am working on light music player in Qt4.5 for Linux (something like foobar2000 for Windows). I think that it will be possible for me to do that package manager, if I take some time during the community bounding period to learn more about Debian package system and reserve my vacation and end of time to my vacation and main application.
I think that it will be good idea to make this application only in Qt (without KDE4). Thanks to that someone who doesn't use KDE could use this package manager without downloading extra dependeces. How this package manager should look? I would make it look a bit like synaptic or shaman (from Chakra). I think that aptitude-gtk and adept are not userfriendly. Using these applications was quite difficult for me. This kind of program is aimed at beginners, so we must make everything to try make package installing with this tool as simple as possible. That's why I think the best way to make Qt4 based package manager is make it from scratch. If you have any questions, just send me an email. I have problem with writing in English, but I hope that content of this email is clear for you. -- Mateusz "Matthew" Marek -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
