Anyone using synaptic? Anyone?
Hey all, I am trying to get a synaptic that works (and preferably compiles) on SuSE. I know there are many here that use apt. Any of you use synaptic? -- Marc Christensen http://counter.li.org/cgi-bin/runscript/display-person.cgi?user=9502

Hello Marc, I am using synaptic 0.24-rb1 with 8.0, and it works fine. Do not know if there is a newer one but am sure that if there is someone will let you know.

I just installed the new synaptic for 8.2 and it works fine. You didn't say what version of SuSE you're using. If it's 8.2 restore your sources.list to include everything run apt-get update then update(install) synaptic. It should update apt and the other rpm's. I think there were four total for the new synaptic. Oh I just remembered for some reason this only downloaded them to /var/cache/apt I had to use kpackage to uninstall the old version and replace it with the newer ones. here's what your looking for ... apt-devel 0.6.6cnc6 rb2 apt-libs 0.6.6cnc6 rb2 apt 0.6.6cnc6 rb2 synaptic 0.36.1-rb1 -- Franklin Maurer Using SuSE 8.2 Pro

ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/8.2-i386/RPMS.extra there are two newer versions as well. The apt versions are in the same place -- Franklin Maurer Using SuSE 8.2 Pro

SLES 8. Which I'm guessing is based off of 8.0. Not sure on that. Here's the project I'm working on. I am at an organization where we are setting up an internal apt server. It will host our own updates and internal build/develpment tools and packages required for our developers. They are develping on SLES, for SLES. So, we need synaptic and apt to work on SLES 8. The problem is that I can't have them change any system libs from thoes that ship officialy from SuSE, as they need to be developing on the "stock" distro. I'm sure they can get by with apt alone which we have working fine on SLES. However, there is one in the project team that feels that "synaptic is a must". I'm trying to comply. It would be nice to have since many of the developers are coming from a window's world and are used to GUI tools. -- Marc C.

Hi Marc, If it's a gui they want, why not install Webmin. If you have apt running and a sourcelist is available, Webmin will automagically recognize this and try to use it for software installs and updates. Once installed you just log in to Webmin and go to > system > software packages, and there it is, ready to browse/search for new packages or updating. cheers, Marcel
David, Nice to know someone is runnig synaptic. Might you have the src.rpm for this version of synaptic? -- Marc C. DB Troll wrote:
