Hi,
I just wanted to share this mail with you. Is there actually anyone
of you using/testing synaptic on this kind of hardware? Is synaptic
significant slower than stock apt-get when initializing or building
it's dependency tree?
Gustavo, can we actually cache anything in the dependency tree?
bye,
Michael

First let me say you have an excellent little app. I do however have a
few suggestions/requests. The first few are for those of us with slow
systems (I'm running a pre-MMX P166 w/ 64MB of RAM for example).
- Please investigate the possibility of caching the dependancy tree
between sessions. It takes a very long time to build and if it hasn't
changed it would be nice if the app could open faster. I don't know if
there is some date available to compare the cache to to know if it's out
of date but I think it might be worth looking into.
- Please don't rebuild the dependancy tree after an update has run if no
new package lists were downloaded.
- Please add an option to disable the auto find as you type.
- Please make the default filter "upgradable" or allow the user to set
it in preferences as the all packages tree takes a long time to build.
That's it for performance enhancements, the next is a bug?
- Programmed Changes = Queued Changes??? Why both filters?
And lastly some general suggestions:
- Please allow users to delete default filters and add an option to
restore in prefs.
- Please add hyperlink support in package info for example:
- On common tab hyperlink maintainers email address.
- In package descriptions hyperlink urls that often exist for
packages homepage.
I only sent this email to you so please pass it on to whoever else is
appropriate. Thank you for the awesome app.
