Any news on the CnR Plugin?

[ablaze]

Does anyone know when CnR will go public and if and when we will see Ubuntu support for it? Has Linspire already published its first version based on Ubuntu?

Questions, questions... But perhaps anyone here has got some insight.

No, and for the good of Ubuntu users everywhere I really hope it stays that way.

Think some want it. So i hope you speak for yourself . Hope it will come soon.

I'm not looking forward to the flurry of support requests because 'CNR broke apt'. CNR has a well documented history of not playing nicely with other package managers. If you're going to use JUST CNR then I suppose it's fine.

considering that CNR is supposed to be a web front end for APT I don't see why this would happen. It would use the same repository with the addition of the proprietary software that Linspire wants to sell.

and not to mention that canonical is working with linspire on this project, i highly doubt that they will include it by default or an option to enable it in ubuntu if it is buggy and will break apt.

I think its just going to be like "Add/Remove Software" or "Synaptic". Both are different programs, let you install/remove software software and add entries to the apt database.

Whoever told you that is completely full of it. CNR is NO such thing. If you need any proof of this, please, by all means, try using apt on Linspire 5-0. CNR is it's own package manager that at it's back end STILL does use .deb and .rpm just like anything else, it is not a front end for anything. Also, I am not the only one who is concerned with the ability of apt to handle the presence of CNR, there are several Ubuntu devs who worry about it too.
