* How you can help
Please install APT 0.6, take your favorite APT frontend, recompile it from source, test basic operations, and report the results (either to me privately, or to this list). Does it still compile? Does it work as expected (apart from the lack of reports for signature verification failures, of course)?
I have been using apt 6.0 for quite some time , and it works OK
I have recompiled aptitude against its libraries, and it works OK
having key verification is quite nice: it warned me when my favourite mirror was broken for some time (for unknown reason)
my only concern was with 'apt-key' : so I approve the patch by [EMAIL PROTECTED]
that adds support for a directory /etc/apt/trusted-keys
(although I would call it /var/lib/apt/trusted-keys )
Even at this stage, it's important to know whether we can expect a
smooth ABI transition, and address any obstacles to that.
my transition was smooth
I really support the transition
