[opensuse] Scout released
Hello all! The first public version of Scout was just released. It is a simple tool which allows user to look for (not yet installed) packages using simple queries (e.g. which autoconf macros does the package contain, which Java classes are present inside or what binaries does the package provide). Its functionality is extendable by plugins, so there will be more options in the future. You can read more about scout in my introductory blogpost[1] and the release blogpost[2].

Interesting. Will this improve or replace "pin"? The problem with pin nowdays is that it only searches one archive. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

I didn't know about "pin" before, but it seems that scout is far superior to pin. -- Best Regards / S pozdravom, Pavol RUSNAK SUSE LINUX, s.r.o Package Maintainer Lihovarska 1060/12 PGP 0xA6917144 19000 Praha 9, CR prusnak[at]suse.cz http://www.suse.cz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
