I'm pleased to announce the poldek - a console frontend 
for RPM allowing easy package management.

Features include:
- package installation, upgrade and removal with
  with automatic dependency resolution.

- system installation from scratch (used in PLD Installer);

- system upgrade, by checking what packages are outdated,
  verifying any eventual new dependencies and installing
  everything;

- package set verification for unresolved dependencies
  unneeded conflicts and dependency loops;

- package set division for the purpose of placing packages
  on removable media like CDROM or ZIP;

- batch (similar to apt-get in use) and interactive mode
  with a readline interface with command line auto-completion
  and history,

Package dependencies, conflicts and ordering are handled by
poldek itself, without rpmlib usage, so program is significantly
faster and uses less memory than rpmlib-based tools.

So far, poldek has only been used by PLD <http://www.pld.org.pl> distribution
users, but should work with no changes in any RPM-based distro.

The latest release is available at:

UNIX is user friendly. It's just very selective about who its friends are.
