I don't use KDE or Adept, but I saw this in my most recent Debian Project News email: http://web.mornfall.net/blog/adept_3.0_alpha_5.html.
I know some folks will be happy to see it coming along, but note the Known Issues (especially the first two - super especially the first one) carefully.

Just curious what does adept offer that synaptic doesn't?

I couldn't really say. I posted the note back in August because so many people had been complaining so much about Adept being taken out of Lenny. I use aptitude pretty much exclusively for package management. As far as I know, some people like it because it's KDE native. Beyond that, I don't know what's good (or bad) about it.craigevil wrote:Just curious what does adept offer that synaptic doesn't?

Although it is a GTK+ application like Synaptic, I'm personally more excited for the Aptitude GUI that was worked on during the Google Summer of Code (http://www.milliways.fr/). It has an extensively tabbed interface that looks pretty accessible and powerful.

Never liked it, when I tried it in Kubuntu was buggy and I much rather prefer CLI tools, but I see the situation this way: for people who don't want to use it it's not a gain or loss either way, for people who like it it's a loss... so it's net loss. But I've heard that common sense can't be taught to old dogs.rickh wrote:Why is that (a shame). Good riddance from everything I've ever read about it.Well, it's the end of Adept. That's a shame.

If you use those tools (I use synaptic and aptitude and they seem to coexist fine even as far as removing no longer required dependencies,) you might want a version written in the toolkit to match your DE.craigevil wrote:Just curious what does adept offer that synaptic doesn't?
It's a little annoying that installing synaptic brings in a lot of gnome. I tried installing it with no recommends on a clean install a few weeks ago and realized I needed an icon set. The icon-set led to more and more junk. And without it, I couldn't tell what was installed and what wasn't.
