Well using this program should give advantages over whatever "less my.log": it is a log analyzer and reporter, then it should give the facility and the possibility to query your logs and so to access logs information quickly.Furthermore: using its options should be possible to trace a little of "history" of what you did with apt (or aptitude it's the same thing) or at least it is the reason I started write it and how I use it. > If another user is not using aptitude (I don't known why not !? :) ), your > program is nice Aptitude use apt and apt-log access the informations contained in term.log. That is if you use Synaptic down to apt all the terminal output is logged in term.log, so I think it's a universal and versatile source of informations,whatever tool you used to manage your packages. Actually aptitude.log contains only one informations more than term.log: if a package is installed as dependency or not. In my TODO things,there is yet merging this extra information in apt-log. > Thank you You're welcome. -- Marco Vittorini Orgeas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
