Hi Ariel,
Nice update to GoNgetIT.

Here is a simple Yad GUI / front end for GoNgetIT - repos are set to Lucid / Squeeze although easily changed in the script.

cheers.

Because there is gui...it needs menu entry....
This version has gongetit version 0.2 and ggigui in /usr/bin and menu entry stuff....so it is whole set.
I changed in ggigui the preference to debian so it is the enabled choice but ubuntu is the choosable choice.

You can test it by typing: mplayer....joke...joke...downloaded dependencies are enormous.

GoNgetIT is not yet finished that a gui is already out there. You gui addicts did it in no time... then be prepared to other changes but with a more zen-like timetable Wink

.

One word on the way ggigui works. What if you want to download games/vectodroid ? it doesn't work because $GETPACK variable can't store the inner slash. you should take into consideration that.

Anyway, thanks guys for your interest in the project.

For puplet builder...gongetit is fastest way to download needed dependencies. Having them in /tmp as .deb is the wanted way.

For my needs gui usage helps to do things easy way.

So...gongetit...ggigui....and menu entry suits me.

I like gongetit and it is useful. So...when there is updated binary...and updated ggigui...I promise to update the pet....If Ariel does not mind.
There just is ppl like me who like to do thing with gui so you dont have to remember all syntaxes of different binaries. I suppose it is long term memory insufficiency.

Thanks for this another wonderful utility for puppy. Hope there is an added feature of converting these packages into a pet or sfs. Please ignore my post if my wish is too much. Again, thank you so much ariel.
