README
Shaman - A Frontend to libalpm in Qt ----------------------------------------------------------------- Shaman is a GUI for Arch Linux package handling. It is based on libalpm, so it doesn't call pacman directly, it handles it from the code itself. This has a lot of advantages, from integration to speed. Also, queries and searches are performed faster than pacman, and with an high level of customization. 1. Introduction 1.1 Features 1.2 Extending Pacman 1.3 Extending Usability 1.4 And More 2. Installation 3. Credits 4. License ------------------------------------------------------------------ 1.1 Features Shaman implements almost every basic pacman functionality. One of the major improvements over pacman is that you can process in a single queue both removal of packages and installation. Moreover, Shaman integrates an advanced parser for pacman.conf that lets you redefine almost every aspect of your pacman configuration. 1.2 Extending Pacman We didn't want to make just a GUI for pacman, we wanted to create a better pacman than pacman. With Shaman you can choose to process your queue from source, thanks to its tight integration with abs and makepkg. Not only, Shaman will keep you updated automatically by notifying you when upgrades are available when it sits in the system tray. But this doesn't stop here: Shaman has an integrated very simple RSS reader for Arch Linux news, and will notify you if an unread news is about a package in your queue. Last but not least, Shaman also features a log viewer for the current pacman log file, allowing you to search through your logs quickly in a pair of clicks. Shaman also logs the same infos as pacman. 1.3 Extending Usability You will be able to control most basic functionalities of Shaman through a Plasmoid. We really believe this new KDE4 technology is the future, and Shaman will have its own data-engine, to make it easier for everyone who wants to create another plasmoid. 1.4 And More This is just a taste of what Shaman can do: just find out yourself what's next! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Installation Refer to the INSTALL file for details ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. Credits There are a lot of people and efforts behind Shaman. Shaman is being actively developed by Dario Freddi and Lukas Appelhans, and grew up in the KDEMod community (kdemod.ath.cx), that helped a lot in testing, in giving Shaman a name (thanks mainly to Rodrigo for that), hosting (thanks to Martin) and anything else, including support :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.
