Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : pkgsync Version : 1.0-4 Upstream Author : Debian native * URL : None * License : GPL Description : automated package list synchronization
pkgsync is a tool for keeping multiple machines reasonably similar and clean. Packages can either be in a `must be installed', `may be installed' or `must not be installed' list (which is presumed to be distributed separately using a tool such as rdist or cfengine). pkgsync will take care of meeting the demands put down in the lists, and then removing everything that is not in the `must' or `may' list and is not necessary for their operations (as determined by aptitude). A preliminary package is available from http://itk.samfundet.no/apt/pkgsync_1.0-4_all.deb; we have this in production, but the package needs more documentation, QA and testing before it's ready to go into Debian. -- System Information: APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.1 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO8859-1
