xrpm-2.2-11mdv2008.1.i586.rpm

Announcing XRPM 2.2

"Xrpm" is a tool born out of frustration with the RedHat and Caldera rpm
management tools.  The first version was written in Tcl/Tk, a great 
scripting language but I don't like it for any larger applications.  This
version is written in Python a much better language in my opinion.

Xrpm has the following features:

	- Displays all RPM packages installed on your system.
	- Query any installed package(s) to find out what it is.
	- List the files of any installed package(s).
	- Remove installed package(s).
	
	- Open a directory panel to view uninstalled packages.
	- Can scan around your file system looking for RPM's.
	- Query any uninstalled package(s).
	- List the files of any uninstalled package(s).
	- Install an uninstalled package(s).
	- Handy right mouse functions in the directory/file display panel.
	
	- Open an FTP site to view uninstalled packages.
	- Can scan around the FTP file system looking for RPM's.
	- Query any uninstalled package(s) on the remote site.
	- List the files of any uninstalled package(s) on the remote site.
	- Install an uninstalled package(s) from the remote site.
	- Your favorite FTP sites are stored in a file for quick access.
	
Check the "manual", "CHANGES" and "todo" file for more information.
These are now located in /usr/doc/xrpm-2.2

XRPM is available from "http://www.gmsys.com" in the "Software" section.
