http://piratepenguin.is-a-geek.com/~declan/freecd I'm pondering a very elaborate (much more so than apt, more like Conary) cross-platform package management system that I would use as a part of that FreeCD project of mine. Over the Summer, I might get a good move on with it. Volunteers - people interested in package management on GNU/Linux and Windows (with understanding of Windows concepts such as the registry, services system, etc), would help speed things up considerably! Mac OS X and other OSes we're also interested in.
