Oh well... Indeed, there was a handful of releases etc. I'm currently worki=

on porting the application to libapt-front (which i'm working on as a commo=
n=20
base for apt frontends... debtags is a major component in the plan) and=20
unfortunately it's all broken at the moment. There are screenshots of older=

was somewhere between 150 and 300 LOC of C++ IIRC). The project looks a bit=

The more people keep asking me about status the better chance it works in=20
finite time. Also, you could bug Enrico (and possibly Michael Vogt) to help=

out with libapt-front since currently i'm pretty much the only commiter in=

look at it. If you could, building and doing a make check would be welcome,=

even if nothing else. As for kapture, it is hosted in KDE CVS,=20
kdenonbeta/kdedebian/kapture, but is horribly broken (doesn't even compile)=
=2E=20
I'll try to find time ASAP to make it at least remotely work again.
