I agree that it would be useful. The problem is that apt-cache does not store package date information anywhere... Any suggestions what would be a good (fast!) way to get it?

Version 0.2.2 should auto-update if the catalogs are older than 24h. I could make this an user-configurable option at some point.

Anyone know how to signal hildon-desktop/menu to reload application icons? The built-in application manager uses some more elegant way than simply killing it

I know that AppWatch has this function. That tool is a P.I.T.A., tho.

Thanks for this app. Although, did you consider working on the existing Application Manager code (which is open source) to try and improve that, rather than reimplementing from scratch?

I'll have to give this app a thumbs up, since I can't stand the original App Manager because it's so darn slow. However, I'm wondering the "Updating catalogs". It's taken me now over 10 minutes and counting, is it supposed to be that slow? And yes, I have lot's of repositories open:
  • Nokia
  • ovi
  • Maemo.org (aka Extras)
  • Extras-testing
  • Extras-devel
  • Fremantle tools
  • Joikuspot
  • Opera

So I guess my choice of repositories "might" have something to do with the slowness of updating?

The Faster Application Manager is now searching for updated catalogs like 10 mins. Is that normal ? xD

Rebooted now and it's incredible fast ! Great.
Would just like to see the app icons in a future version, the rest is really great

I wanted to do something with Qt, so no

Yes it can take a long time over a slower connection if you have a lot of repositories (or if the repositories themselves are having a slow day). The package lists easily add up to several megabytes, take a look at your log file after doing a particularly long update.

Not working for me:
Getting: exit code 100, status 0, when trying to upgrade a package.

After reading this, I think I'll wait until it moves to testing.

Are you using the latest version (0.2.2 at the moment)?
Does this happen with any package or just one particular package?
What is in your log file after trying to install?
Code:
sudo gainroot
cat /root/.fapman/lastlog.txt
