Apt & Synaptic need to update "metadata" for Personal Repos

#1 Post by Xeno Idaltu »

I think it would be handy if Synaptic added a new column for Personal Repository debs.

I recently made a personal repo on /usr/localrepo but the metadata doesn't show options for manual installs.

On Synaptic, we need a new column on "origin" saying "LocalRepo" for those packages installed from /use/localrepo that way I can click on that column and all packages from that repo would show up.

I think we could probably use something like conf/distributions and have Synaptic read from it.

We also need apt-get to get rid of that useless color output and only use colors for packages being installed/removed with green/red
