Status update on Synaptic Package Manager for Maemo

Off late I have not been able to put much time to this project. Today I manage to uploaded first initial version of the port to mistral/Maemo 2.x (have not tested it for Maemo 3). Give it a spin.

Known problems
  • I have not been able to fix maemo/sapwood theme related problem, probably related to Gtk program running as sudo (caution, this is a bad idea ). This happens only when invoked as sudo :( but theme works ok, when for e.g synaptic is launch from xterm. So for now when invoked from the desktop, you will be welcomed by good old gtk look and feel :)
This version does not support single deb installation (install from file) and "1-click" .install file support as available in the official version.
