Here again, it lies with me to try to keep this poor list alive. I don't know if you guys just stop doing projects or what. ;-)

Well I've been busy too :) Started trying to implement a pacman front end based on pygtk and python. It's starting to take form, and the pacman communication is, as far as I can see, done. I'm working on the gui stuff right now, and trying to do stuff while on vacation :)

Woo hoo! Some competition. SoniX has been making some super commits to the Jacman source. I've been sorting out the rollback functionality. If the 0.2 release doesn't come out tomorrow, expect it in the next few days! :) I pity the foo' who try to take on Jacman! Er, I mean, Joao, welcome! Pacman front-ends are great. If you have any questions, drop me a line. Obviously, we're working on different GUI toolkits, but I'd be happy to share my experiences so far. Andy

I have to say I'm torn between supporting my lost love, Java, or my new love, Python in this matter... :-D

You can have your feet in both camps. Ah, go on! Jacman has the advantage of having your name in its acknowledgments in the About dialog. :) Andy

Throw me in there for good measure... say I provided tacos. "Special thanks to phrakture for making us tacos"

Anybody know anything about Number munchers? Maybe you have an apple IIe emulator for me? :-D

No, hijacking is more fun

BTW Joao, do you know about xerces2's libpypac pacman library written in Python? it may be useful to you.

First of all I'd like to thank everyone for making me feel welcome :) Andy: I believe competition can be a good thing, since it motivates people to do better. I thank your offer of assistance, and I'll drop you a line if questions arise. I also like coding in Java very much, but wanted to learn Python :) Dusty: I have tried libpypac but I seem to be able to sync only '[current]' and not '[extra]' and '[community]'. And I'm also considering using pacman to install/upgrade/query packages. So I guess this is what I'll do. -- A mind all logic is like a knife all blade.
