but there seems to be no takers to this concept so this is the last time i will put it out there.

I totally agree with it, but I've got more important things to do with my coding skills. Just wait until I release a 3D interface to pacman!

Seriously, I think people are holding off on starting a dedicated GUI project because they are waiting until the libraryized pacman backend is finished. For now, the coders are just playing around to get a feel for stuff and to make themselves feel important (that's a big reason for coding).

One other point, I've been in vehement opposition to a GUI pacman, but I changed my mind. Arch is so easy to use, I can set it up on somebody's computer and know nothing will go wrong. However, as soon as they want to install some software, they're lost. A *good* gui installer would allow me to put Arch on these computers more readily; as it is I sometimes choose mandrake which.... well, it doesn't always give Linux a good name.

Two things:
A) Quanta is now under kdewebdev, so fix that dependency
B) There is already a project called kpacman out there, that is an actual pacman game.

I would take a closer look, but kdewebdev has too many dependencies for my taste.

so, no further development done? i'd really like to deploy arch in areas such as beginners places, due to it's robustness and speed, but without a graphical package manager it might be somewhat difficult for people unfamiliar with finux in general - a frontend to kde would be great, not necesarily written in java too ;-)

i;d hate to be forced to use, nonethelss slower and a bit messier, *buntu on these boxes. after all, i'm supposed to show a better product here 8)

cheers,

ps. oh yes, and i'd suggest changing the project name's to kacman or kapman or the like, since like the person before me mentioned, there already is a pacman game named kpacman.

Doesn't seem so!

However, I'v created my own Kommander based wrapper for pacman.
Here is PacKommander : http://www.esnips.com/nsdoc/863fc34f-0b … 6a11c6c7de

It is certainly not what Synaptic is for apt-get, yet! (After all, I'v seen Kommander for the first time just yesterday ! )
