I am proud to announce the first alpha release for Muon Suite 2.0. The Muon Suite is a set of package management utilities for Debian-based Linux distributions built on KDE technologies. Packages for Kubuntu 12.10 “Quantal Quetzal” are available in the QApt Experimental PPA.
Most of the big stuff for 2.0 was announced in my previous post. Some bug fixes have been applied, as well as some more boring behind-the-scenes restructuring of code. That’s why this is still an alpha release instead of a beta release. We have a few more features we’d like to get in, and then do a beta release. (I’ve been busy studying for final exams this past week, which is why the release is a bit late…)
Changelogs
Detailed changelogs for LibQApt and Muon can be found here and here, respectively.
Is there a function for separating downloaded packages into folders? So, user can easily install an application by just copying the folder to another computer (no need internet anymore)? Enough with sudo dpkg -i *.
Example: I install Netbeans. All packages donloader into folder Netbeans. So, if my friends (100 friends) wanna instal Netbeans in same OS like me, they don’t need to download by theirowm. Enough with I download once and they just copy my folder. So on with another applications such as libreoffice, 0ad, etc. in the repo.
If this feature exist, I will change into Muon. We users in poor internet country like Indonesia absolutely need this feature.
Yes, this feature was added in 1.2: http://jontheechidna.wordpress.com/2011/08/12/muon-suite-1-2-0-released/
Wow, is Synaptic has this feature too? Amazing, Jon!
But Jon, I’ve installed Muon and try it. I wanna Muon to download packages in a named folder. E.g. Netbeans to folder named Netbeans. So, if I wanna install Netbeans in my friend’s machine, enough with copying the folder and sudo dpkg -i *.
I don’t figured that feature to be exist in Muon. Can you help me?
Thank you for your great work, Jonathan! I wish I could help you in some way.
I’ve replaced Synaptic completely and currently am pretty impressed with the functionality and UI offered by Muon.
Please keep up with the great work and thanks!
The git tag for this release is missing, just a heads-up.
Thank you for this app
. How to fix translation typos? I could not find them on Launchpad.
Translations are done in KDE with the KDE translation infrastructure.
Thank you, I will try to fix them then.
Can you tell me the location where the translations are? I downloaded all messages from KDE trunk, but could not find muon.pot files in apps. Only in documents.
