* Package name : nala Version : 0.7.1 Upstream Author : Blake Lee <bl...@volian.org> * URL : https://gitlab.com/volian/nala * License : GPLv3+ Programming Lang: Python Description : commandline frontend for the apt package manager nala is a frontend for the apt package manager. It has a lot of the same functionality, but formats the output to be more human readable. Also implements a history function to see past transactions and undo/redo them. Much like Fedora's dnf history. This package is useful because it improves the UX of managing packages through the command line with python3-apt. Additionally provides some extra quality of life features such as a transaction history you can interact with. I use nala daily, as do many others. Similar packages include apt and aptitude. Nala improves upon the hardwork of the apt team by formatting the output in a more readable manner. At the moment I maintain this program on our GitLab. That is where we accept bug reports and feature requests. I don't have any problems accepting bug reports from Debian's system, or emails for that matter. I regularly accept bug reports from our GitHub as well. We currently have support for the German language, and I have someone working on a Spanish po file as well. Nala is still in active development, but it is very usable. I've had many people ask me about getting this into the Official Debian repos so this is my request for that. I assume that I would be in need of a sponser considering I've never uploaded anything into a Debian repository. But I did try my best to make the debian files proper, and I personally use sbuild for building the software. In case it is required I do have our repo already mirrored into debian salse https://salsa.debian.org/volian-team/nala My users would be thrilled to hear this makes it into the official repositories. I'm looking forward to your response.
