FAQ: Package Managers

Re: FAQ: Package Managers

As a note, I uploaded a new muon package to the PPA yesterday that manually depends on libdebconf-kde0, at least until libdebconf can get fixed so that the package builder picks it up as a dependency automatically.

KUbuntu and Muon Discover

Hi!
As some of you will know already, I've been working on a new Muon
sub-project called Muon Discover. The idea of this application is to
provide a comfortable application where we can navigate through all
repositories browse the available applications and provide the
(hopefully) best tool to find the closest to what the user's looking
for.

Here there's a video displaying what it does, in case you're just curious:

We have created a ppa providing this (and some other stuff):
https://launchpad.net/~cyberspace/+archive/cyber-stuff

I'm sending this e-mail because I'd like to know what the KUbuntu
community thinks about this, so if you happen to have comments about
this, don't hesitate to answer here or contact me...

That is awesome!

I often browse the repositories looking for new applications. You've just made it FUN!:cool:

Just finished playing with it. Installed several packages (almost a dozen) and it crashed 3 times just at the end of an install, while updating the msg bar. Didn't seem to hurt the install, though.

One of the benefits of running the install in a separate non-gui process. 8)

I think Aleix has done some great work, and look forward to the day when it will be ready to displace the existing Software Center in the brave new KF5/QML world.

Edit:: very nice.

hmmm.... an update of Muon today removed Muon Discover. Two different versions (1493 vs 1503) of a file were shown as conflicting.
