Hi,we also look into building a pkg management system for the GNUstep environment. I had a quick look at your approach and it seems that you are not basing your efforts on one of the existing pkg managers (eg rpm or apt). May I ask why ?
Currently I tend to use rpm as the basis since it can manage multiple databases on a single host, runs on multiple platforms, it is well supported, quiet fast and - already provides a C library to process the pkgs. So I would try to build an ObjC wrapper around that library (has anybody done that before or wants to do this ?). What's also missing for rpm is the "red-carpet" functionality which I definitly want to have.

All:I am looking for anyone interested in helping with a code audit of the LinuxSTEP package manager (lspm). As it comes closer and closer to the initial release (bundled with LinuxSTEP) and is, arguably, very important to system management I want to make sure most (hopefully all) of the bugs are caught.Note: LinuxSTEP itself is *not* required to test lspm. Lspm will run on any system where GNUstep, popt, libxml2, etc. will run.Like I said, this is more for checking the code rather than testing the functionality although both are important. Also, feature suggestions and constructive critique is also good.The code is available at http://www.linuxstep.org/downloads/LinuxSTEP-CodeCore-0.0.8.tar.gz(Instructs are included in the file) Thanks in advance...
