[Apt-proxy-users] user interface ?

[micha <mic...@gm...>]

Hello,

Beneath the original network application, ap also is quite useful for 
updating roaming machines from a base station. i feed now regularily 
several Laptops from an ap-server, and it works great.
Thanks to the developers !

I'd wish ap could load packages without actually have to pass them 
somewhere for installation....i could do the requests (and maybe even 
investigate dependencies) altogether at the evening, and next morning 
going to suck the stuff to the other machines.

I'm used to aptitude; so i would be happy to manage the apt-proxy cache 
directly with a kind of (modified) aptitude, doing orders and lookup 
dependencies. This would only show (from) where they are available, of 
course. Just the GUI, rather simple.

Somehow this would demonstrate ap could become a basic element of the 
apt system one day. And the GUI could become part of aptitude.
But my thoughts are running away. Again, it's quite good as it is.
