I'm planning on investigating this for the next release. It won't be
in slink. It is an interesting idea. While I have recently heard
about secure locate, I haven't examined it yet. The standard locate
is so full of problems, I want to give secure locate a look before
releasing it.

Hi,
just a short remark on the version I uploaded today. The methods
don't require the regular `Packages' files but use their own ones
which are named `Packages.cd' or `Packages.cd.gz' resp.
This makes other methods of dselect still work with the new cds.
However this requires two sets of `Packa

Hi,
CVS offers some capability to do symlinks. It is fairly
simple, requiring an edit of the modules file, and a shell
script. Look at this (excerpt from my huge modules file), and the
shell scripts used.
Simple, really.

It's alpha software, but it's free and doesn't break your system. Let's

If we are going to remove all packages which are buggy, we have to

Hi,
Doesn't the version number convey the alpha nature to people?
Like, it isn't even version 1.0?

Probably a pretty dumb question:
dpkg-shlibdeps got the dependencies wrong for a single deb in the
python package (tkstep8.0 instead of tk8.0).

Is there anyone out there who could do an upload for me?
I have a new better iceconf package ready for upload but I´m sitting on a
mail-only account. So I could mail the package to someone who then copies
