Hey all, I was wondering what you guys thought of this. http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/warp It's my own project and while I know I have not put out a new release in a few months I have had exams so had to revise for them, but work has continued, and I have one new feature to implement before the new version comes out, I would like to point out the first package format I implemented was in fact autopackage support because my theory is when a new autopackage comes out Warp will automatically check remove the old version and install the new version. I figure it's easier for the user to have a program to automatically update their autopackages than searching for them manually. Warp aim's to bridge the gap between distributions not adding new features until a new release and users wanting new features in the interim. It's written in C# and uses bash calls occasionally to work on Nix systems. It's worth pointing out the code I have on my hard drive is much cleaner and better than what's on sourceforge at the moment, but I do not know how to use svn or cvs and can't understand the sourceforge documents on how to make it work. Feedback, opinions, discussions are welcome, indeed this is the point of the email, as I've been working on my own with no help or even many suggestions as to what might/might not be a good idea. So if anyone wishes to suggest new features I would appreciate it. I am not looking for new developers, of course you are welcome if you wish, but that's not the point of this email. It's a 'what do people think?' email. Thanks Neil Munro
