[QUOTE=shaurz;397384]It appears to use Scheme syntax for packages. Not ideal in my opinion but I guess it beats shell scripts (since you have full access to a real programming language).
well, you can do everything witl a shell script...
it's a different language!
Sellscripts are a language more close to Human bean...
of course, that because of that its a lot different than C language...and a Developer have a hard time understanding it...
But in the same way a Old SysAdmin(at least) have a hard time understanding C language too...or not...
They are used by different people(One is for developers , the other for sysadmins, and people that quickly want to do something...time is money..)!
But for your information... APT is not written in Shell script language?!!!!!
APT is written in Java, which is powerful language!! And is in fact, a antagonic decision, because Java is not the best Language for Operating systems...having a tool in java, you will depend definitely on Java virtual machine

Thanks for remember me that...but i saw somewhere that this management system is using java...
Or I am right now confused with some gnu tool..
I checked again and java headless is needed by apt..so if it won't use it....why it depends on it?
Any way thanks
