hi everybody, i'm doing some work on Lsc (aka lubuntu software center).
i've understood that USC is too much complex, cleaning up the code and
removing unuseful parts will be too much difficutl (imho). MintInstall
use massively synaptic as backend via os.popen (really i don't like it).
anyway, the branch is still lp:~stephen-smally/+junk/lubuntu-software-center
now Lsc list the sections give in the file data/categories (the syntax
is "Name||icon-name||section" e.g. "Utils||applications-utilities||utils").
choosing a section, Lsc list the apps contained in the section,
selecting an app you can see some info (description).
you can also see your installed apps.
at the moment you can remove or install packages (coming soon).
there is a stupid function that define if the package is an app or a
lib, but it doesn't work fine.

please give me some feedbacks

Regards

Stephen Smally
