Notes:

pakke is a package manager for DJGPP. It is currently under development. It is similar in concept to other package managers like RPM, but tailored for the DJGPP environment. The current design aims are:

rpm-like command-line syntax
Automatic FTP or HTTP downloads of needed packages
Flexibility & simplicity (yes, simultaneously!)
Trouble-free installation/uninstallation of packages ith dependencies
Easy installation of groups of packages
Self-contained, i.e. no unzipping utilities needed
Compilable with a few tools/libraries with DJGPP and on Linux
Easy to configure

New Advogato Features

New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.

Keep up with the latest Advogato features by reading the Advogato status blog.
