Hi folks
I came across this at the debian mailing lists section:
deity
Debian GNU/Linux will get a new, friendly frontend to its package
maintenance system. Its codename is deity (now known as APT) and its
development is discussed here. The -digest is open to everyone.
Moderated: no Subscription: deity-developers only
deity-digest is a read-only, digestified version.
