Keryx seems to have gone fully commercial but at the time of this posting the site is under construction without documentation or a working download link.
I have another idea but I'm no developer...
Yeah, uh-kay... People are still pointing to Keryx, which was promising while it lasted but it's now fully commercial $$$ and the website is currently broken/under construction withOUT a download or support.
From what I saw of keryx_0.92.4.1, it seemed to work okay on the garden variety Windows XP box but was not quite so automagic on my wonky Kubuntu 8.04 box. Methinks a dependency, perhaps python.
About the commercialization, I wonder if Keryx should be bound by a GPL/LGPL, etc. Since it's, in part, based on GNU/Linux. It has components that run under Windows and Linux. Does charging a fee, instead of asking for donations violate the letter of the law of the GPL? It's sure against the spirit of "free and open" Software!!!
I also got referred to "Sushi, huh?" and "Huh" is just what I uttered. From the read-me file generated by the .deb package:
Great, the developer finds it to be useless, boring and a waste of time; so what of an end user? Okay so it's only spelling but can we trust code from someone who doesn't spell-check? Engrish; do you speak it..?
I don't know, I may have copies of:
around but am not sure it they are of any help now. Maybe PM me about those
I have a few links that seem to be less than helpful, without further clarification:
Being mainly offline, when I do manage to get online, I'm concentrating on being a happy end user.
I've not had any luck with Synaptic Package Manager and a Download Script. It would be on a windows box, as are most public computers...
I'm sure in the current economic state of the world, there are many others in an "internet desert" or "Broadband Desert" who are relegated to "Sneakernet" / "Sneaker Net" with their desktops.
I had hoped that another developer, true to the free and open source nature of GNU/Linux, might take up the cause of a "Simple Offline Usb Package manager". Hot SOUP for the Chilly-Willy Penguins!!!

Hi, to all users and possibly devellopers of Sushi, huh?, I'm desired to stop working on Sushi, huh? because now I have no need to use it, I have not fun coding it(it becomes really boring now), and I can not retrieve monetary retribution from it. Also I want to start a new proyect and this is a waste of time...
