Applied patch by Daisuke Suzuki, of Vine Linux, implementing support for Japanese translations, and adding additional i18n in apt-cdrom. Applied patch by Ville Skytt fixing the order of some RPM API calls for RPM 421 Change by Panu Matilainen to ignore unknown/untrusted signatures on RPM 41. Some changes by Panu Matilainen in the groupinstall plugin available in the contrib directory. Implemented verisonline , enabled support for loadlib , and included posix and rex extensions in Lua interface.
Integrated and extended patch by Panu Matilainen adding support for internal committing of changes using the RPM API! Now changes will be committed to the system in a single transaction. Using the ancient scheme is still possible by setting RPM::PM to external . With this, apt-get install and apt-get build-dep may receive a local package path as parameter and APT-RPM will correctly handle fetching of dependencies, for example. This means that every filename which is included in the pkglist may now be passed to the apt-get install command. Fixed problem which made apt-get build-dep not recognize dependencies on certain filenames, even if they were in the pkglist. Fixed command line parsing bug which made apt-shell crash randomly. Added Scripts::AptGet::Command and Scripts::AptCache::Command Lua interface slots, making possible to introduce new commands using Lua pluggins. Additionally, apt-shell will recognize commands in any of these slots. Slots beginning with Scripts::Apt where renamed to Scripts::AptGet , and the ones beginning with Scripts::RPM where renamed to Scripts::PM . This plugin will try to guess an available package name if the one provided wasnt found. Now provides without version will not be used if some specific version is asked in the command line, and provides without release will not be used if some specific release is asked. Implemented automagical detection of changes in options which affect how the cache is built.
Reincluding contrib/ directory which was left out in last release. Do not use manifest file while erasing packages, since rpm doesnt support it. About APT-RPM is a port of Debians APT tools to a RPM based distribution Conectiva, Red Hat, SuSE, ALT-Linux, etc. APT is an advanced package management utility front-end which allows you to easily perform package installation, upgrading and removal. Dependencies are automatically handled, so if you try to install a package that needs others to be installed, it will download all needed packages and install them.
Graphical interfaces The recommended graphical interface for APT-RPM is Synaptic . Synaptic is a graphical package management program for APT enabled distributions. It provides the same features as the apt-get command line utility with a GUI front-end based on WINGs or GTK. Synaptic was originally developed by Conectiva, and is now maintained by Conectiva the same developers of APT-RPM and Debian developers.
