#001: Fun with poldek
To get things started, here is the first screencast - playing around with poldek.
poldek is the program responsible for package management in PLD Linux. While it internally makes use of rpm it also has a big set of unique features and offers an interactive shell as opposed to most similar command line tools.
Things shown in the screencast
- Updating the repository cache
- Starting the interactive shell
- Switching between repositories and the locally installed packages
- Searching for packages using their names, description fields, searching for particular files and provided capabilities
- Reading package descriptions
- Upgrading packages
- The builtin
grepcommand - Launching external command using the exclamation mark prefix

You should make probably the videos in English locale for larger audience.
Thank you

I don’t know how you made linux video howto uncompatible with linux players, but you did it
Probably it is something with Suse 10.2, but still it is a strange behavior…
I tried mplayer, xine, vlc… they all crash. I have libvorbis and w32codecs installed, so I still don’t get what is happening.

It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your
gcc version. If you think it’s MPlayer’s fault, please read
DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html and follow the instructions there. We can’t and
won’t help unless you provide this information when reporting a possible bug.
