Rodent-5.2.7 now includes a package management GUI for FreeBSD, set up as a plugin for rodent-fm (Rodent Filemanager). This is called rodent-pkg. Not all pkg commands are available by default ---only those I've tested to satisfaction--- but all may be enabled very easily if you want to test 'em. They'll probably work, since the code is the same as that for tested function. Tested functions include "delete", "install", "fetch", "search" and others. Future versions of rodent-pkg will have all commands enabled. Support for rpm/zypper/yum and dpkg/apt-get combinations are in the roadmap to provide a cross platform coherent package management tool which is not exclusive to a particular OS distro. Rodent-pkg requires rodent-fm 5.2.7 (which has full readline library support and other improvements). Also required is librfm-5.2.8, which fixes a condition where a false request for sudo would be triggered on mv/ln/cp operations, and some other mv/cp/ln issues on FreeBSD. Both rodent-fm and rodent-pkg are available in the Rodent aplications meta package rodent-5.2.7. More information is available at http://xffm.org . Comments and suggestions are welcome, either on this list (if that is OK with all) or directly at http://sf.net/projects/xffm/ Enjoy. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dr. Edscott Wilson Garcia Reservoir Engineering Mexican Petroleum Institute
