I don't think your links are correct. I get "Not Found" when I click on the package links. I did manage to find it in this directory:
http://zendo.naquadah.org/downloads/zpm/1.0/
I'll give it a try

Oops, good point. I fixed all the links now. That's what I get for failing to test them all.

Package is ok for me.
Good application

Tested with an "upgrade all" $\D/$

Just a comment. I don't know if it is possible to put a progress line when a package is downloaded $:-\$
Otherwise it is perfect

Here it should probably be -l (l like love, what we feel for Zendo

) like in the wiki.

Here the formatting is a bit confusing, maybe this could be improved.

From what I've seen til now it's a really great tool. I especially like the -d options, which eventually gives me to possibility to check what I'm installing.

Good job, go on like this. *thumbs up*

Use the --verbose or -v option, it will give you a progress bar. I had implemented another progress bar, but it didn't show up correctly on some terminal emulators for some reason, so I got rid of it for now. The -v option will still work for you though, most likely.

Good catch noticing the -i option. That's a typo, obviously it should be -l

Fortunately BandiPat got it right in the man page. I will make that change before sending it to FIFO, as that is a somewhat severely confusing bug.

As for the strange formatting, I'm also not happy with the way that looks. It's far too confusing, but I will wait until future versions before I mess with that.

Yes, using the -v (verbose) option when using any of the other options will give you the progress bar as well as many other things. Also, don't forget about the -a option, to automatically get your deps as it's not default. Otherwise, breeze over the manual to get more details with your options & filters! l!!!

What formatting? I'm confused. $:-\$

Sparky · **Posted:** Sat Jan 03, 2009 6:10 pm

The formatting near the top of the --help screen, where it says "just ...". It's not terrible, but it's certainly not easy to read either. I just haven't figured out a better, clearer way to display that yet.

Don't rack your brain because of that, it's not that bad, should be somewhere at the end of the todo list. Doesn't it prove that you did a good job that so few minor bugs were found.

Now I've used zpm a bit more and I already don't want to miss is. The more I use it, the more I learn about its features/how to use it the more fascinated and addicted I become.

Keep that good work up. It's simply great, I like it that much more than the default cli tool. Thanks for that fantastic job.
