Decription

XIPM simply stands for X Interface for Package Management. Its aim is  to ease system maintenance and to provide an efficient way of browsing  through archives stored on high capacity medias. 

For now, it principaly manages RPM but if you plane doing for example  a CD for distribution with lots of tgz or other formats, XIPM can handle  them through script files. 

Features

• Multitask data retrieving
• On system RPM package informations
• 'desc' script language for your own packages descriptions
• 'desc' exportaion from memory-loaded datas
• Install progress bar
• Easy to use interface

Requirement

You simply need Linux and the gtk library installed!

I'm a former coder from the demo-scene. I've done some years ago some assembly coding (3D engine and many, many gfx effects...). I used to code whenever i had time (in fact: all the time :) but I'm now lacking of time. Thus, I decided to turn myself  to easier coding and here is XIPM :)
