Where do I find the descriptions of available packages in the zubuntu repositories?
In "most" other Zaurus distros, all one needs to do is download the "Packages" file and open it in a text editor. There you can read the description for each of the packages in the feed. Also shown are the dependencies, and other useful information. BTW, I did try to search for this on the Ubuntu forums, but came up with no answer. |
