Debian Package Search Description
Debian Package Search is a GUI for searching packages and showing package information. Debian Package Search is a GUI for searching packages and showing package information.Debian Package Search is aimed to help you search for the packages you need. It should make the task of searching a pleasant experience.Additionally it offers a convenient way to display the information available for a package. Originally I designed it to find a single package where you have a clear imagination of what you want, and it is really good for this.But it can also be used to simply browse the packages available. Perhaps there is something in the database you simply must have.Debian Package Search provides a single interface for different types of search including a full text search (apt-cache search) and searching by categories (debtags search).Debtags is a new approach for categorizing the Debian packages developed by Enrico Zini. Once you have found an interesting package you can install from within the user interface.TODO:· install/remove multiple files· look into sticky search· allow purging for remove· allow searching "whole words only"· create a .desktop file· switch to libapt-front· fix showing "normal" files again (like README)What's New in This Release:· nice window title for running "apt-get update" added· updating apt database is now calling "debtags --local update" afterwards· allow selecting between aptitude and apt for installation· add "Preferences" section to menu "Packagesearch"· each menu has a character to select it· renamed "File" menu to "Packagesearch"· reduced height of entries in the package list· prevent crashes when underlying libept changes
