Sorry to produce a non fully working release but I want to make proper developers aware that something can be ported so they can fix things (if I ever learn good C , i'll come back and fix it ) and some things work.

This is smart package manager. Installing stuff is broken but removing packages work fine. It shows a list of the files that are installed by a particular package and the search function is much faster than application manager. Hildon keyboard works.

shell & gui works.

Download:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/zwkpga

Untar to /
run "mv /usr/lib/python-2.5/smart/ /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/smart"
vi /usr/bin/smart
edit first line to: #!/usr/bin/python

run either smart --gui or smart --shell from xterm
oh yh, you need python

interesting work. i use smart on my fedora box.

what is it that is not working on the install side? AFAIK, smart does support .deb packages and debian repos.

whats really nice is that (when smart works )you can select multiple packages for install, and the downloading of the packages is threaded, thereby making the whole process that much faster.

a couple of smart command line options that are not in the help files:

smart config --show - will show the config for smart
smart config --set http-proxy=http://server.domain.com:<port> - sets a proxy for smart to go through. IP:<port> also works.

Thanks,

If I choose to install a local deb file through the command line, it ignores me and quits.
Gui does the same thing.

Also installing things from repo's says cannot be found. But if what you say is true, I guess that isn't limited to this port

Funny thing is that about says canonical , which make the popular deb based distro which my scratchbox resides on. I had to do ugly hax to scratchbox to get this compile.

It is I believe but about says canonical. Credits say they have been funding development. Nothing about labix (except for web address).

your right... see my link and scroll down to the credits section. the second listed is canonical. they are providing the current funding for the project.

maybe try contacting the author listed on the page, to answer any of the questions you have.
