[Aptitude-devel] Bug#526812: aptitude: Qt interface for aptitude

[Manuel A. Fernandez Montecelo]

Hello,

There is Qt code in aptitude repository, but it's not been touched
since July 2010:

  http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=aptitude/aptitude.git;a=history;f=src/qt;h=e183f86aa6b56c24378e775fb4e2a5df36db495d;hb=ec234514bbf88e4800218fd39e3500024b424476

The status, according to:
  http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2010/09/msg00007.html

  === Aptitude Qt ===
  by Piotr Galiszewski, mentored by Sune Vuorela
  Currently, development branches support full features searching, viewing
  extended package's informations, performing cache and packages
  operations. Code and GUI still require a lot of work which will be
  continued. Informations about further progress could be found on
  aptitude mailing list and repository rss channel.

Since Daniel Burrows is not responding, it would be good to ask Sune
Vuorela about this or search trough the mailing list.

Nevertheless, if you still want to volunteer to work on a Qt front-end
to aptitude it's a good time, since the development is resumed and
there's people who can help you to get your way in.

Cheers.
