The Debian's Archive Browser Home Page
(neat citation here)
What is it?
Just a work in progress for now, but enough for browsing
the
biggest packages archive in the GNU/Linux World.
If you're tired of lauching dselect just for a quick lookup
at what the debian's archive as to offer, then this program is
(will be) for you.
The Dab wants to be a User Friendly Browser through this big list
of packages, allowing users to sort, search, annotate, etc...
Getting Started
- Be sure you have a Debian GNU/Linux distribution ;-)
- Download the
sources (no compilation needed, but you'll need
Python installed)
For using the Tk interface, you'll need Tkinter installed too.
- cd to the directory you download the source and type:
python src/Dab.py &
or, if you haven't Tkinter installed, try this:
python src/DabUIBase.py
for a interactive (text
only) test of the program.
