JFYI: ----- Forwarded message from "Pawel A. Gajda" ----- Date: Tue, 26 Mar 2002 18:50:01 +0100 From: "Pawel A. Gajda" To: rpm-list@redhat.com Subject: [ANNOUNCE] poldek 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 - system installation from scratch (used in PLD Installer); - system upgrade, by checking what packages are outdated, verifying any eventual new dependencies and installing everything; - package set verification for unresolved dependencies unneeded conflicts and dependency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 distribution users, but should work with no changes in any RPM-based distro.
