is there somewhere where we should be listing broken apps, etc?
I am seeing issues with americas_army. Seems like the package is broken. Also, AVG is out of date, as 7.5 has been released, but 7.1 is the release that is on the server now.
Also, what are the chances of seeing game patches released to win-get? Might be a great use for this application.
Now that I'm done criticizing, I'd like to say that this application is AWESOME!!!! I'm a debian/ubuntu user, and apt-get is the coolest thing since sliced bread. Very glad to see it making it's way to Windows.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
man i <3 this idea i really wish the packages list wasn't so broken because the list itself also contains many of the most useful open-source apps i know of. but here's my list of broken apps and info pertaining to them.
ethereal - download works but NSIS error on installation on both XP & Vista. note, this seems to be a problem with the installation as it exists on all primary mirror sources. the ones listed on it's own sourceforge & primary site, meaning they linked a broken build basically, not much you can do here except the project should really be updated to point to wireshark or list wireshark as a new project.
ad-aware - gives the /help msi installer window using the silent install. the normal install works.
unfortunately these were the 1st 5 tries i made where the non-silent install of ad-aware was the only successful one. i wanted to write a nice website for my work to do some silent and nice click to install, but with a 20% success rate i feel it's too unstable at this point =(
