Roadmap ? #1

Closed elmatou closed 8 years ago

elmatou commented 10 years ago

Hi, I'm currently working on ruby wrapper for the different apt tools, when I noticed your project. It is very interressting as it avoid messy system calls by binding it to the C header. As of now implement only few of the possibilities offered by APT. Are you planning to implement new features (install, remove, ...) ? Any how, I really want to see this going further, I will digg to understand wat I need to know to write the other features, and If you want will PR some of my improvements (if it happens to be...).

see you

Hi Laurent, I see, you are working on it again. I definitely will need something like what you are achieving.

I was ready to begin my implemetation with https://github.com/ffi/ffi. I do prefer the approch because I have a very little experience with C/C++

If you are willing to change your strategy and go with ffi (https://github.com/ffi/ffi/wiki/why-use-ffi) I will be very happy to help.

See you.

Hi @elmatou, One of the goal of this project is to learn Ruby ABI, so I will not change the implementation. If you have a repository I can add it to README or could help maybe. Thanks for your interest.
