For my master laurea thesis I developed PackageFS that aims to transparently manage packages in several distros. There are also many other facilities: - View a directory-based tree of packages (with the files that each package owns) which can be nested by category, or by priority In the future - you will be able to add users to "packages" group to make them able to manage packages - you can mount the file system on a cluster to transparently manage several hosts You can find my thesis at http://packagefs.sourceforge.net I think FUSE is a very good idea (as good as the actual implementation is), IMHO it should be inserted in the mainline kernel. Thanks to Miklos and other developers. Luca -- Non ci toglieranno mai....la LIBERTA'!!!
