I have used apt and its GUI synaptic for years. I couple of days ago I updated both my linux 9.2 boxes (about 6 or 7 hundred packages) using apt. It all went very well. I have had problems in the past but not many and all solved. Apt is worth the effort to learn.
I managed to get apt and apt-lib installed from the site, but I would *really* like to get synaptic working. I tried `apt-get install synaptic', but apparently I don't have a proper sources.list file. Is there a way to just get the rpm for this? That way I could browse my selected sources at my leisure. (Ubuntu had this on the "system" menu, and it was very cool.)
Just read: http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm, it's there ;) To be more precise: http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm/home.html#contents What suse version? SuSE-9.3 does not provide synaptic yet, do you need it? (take it from suse=9.2 for the time being and install the rpm with 'apt install <synaptic-rpm>' Hopefully the dependencies are satisfied... Apt is good enough for an article in the upcoming linux-magazine: http://www.linux-magazine.com/issue/54/apt4rpm.pdf -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless
