Re: address@hidden: Fink]

   Fink seems to provide a consistent command-line interface, whereas
   the regular Debian tools are scattered over several programs (dpkg,
   apt-get, apt-cache, dpkg-buildpackage etc.)

That is a nice description.

   If you want to check out the next generation, I suggest taking a
   look at conary[1], which blends rpm/apt and arch.  It got
   developped by some of the original RPM authors and looks quite
   promising, but I never evaluated it myself.

I atleast am more interested in finishing the package manager first
before worrying about fancy front-ends; might take a look at it at
some later point.

Thanks.
