Hi Rahul, Yes, it was my original proposal to use Amber. I have had a chance to play around with the code along time ago, but I haven't had the chance to contribute because of my busy schedule. I'm hoping that this project could help me get started to contribute on Fedora project. -- Grady <div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Apr 4, 2009 at 4:38 AM, Rahul Sundaram <<a href="mailto:sundaram@fedoraproject.org">sundaram@fedoraproject.org</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div class="im">Benji Weber wrote: > 2009/4/2 Grady Laksmono <<a href="mailto:gradyfausta@laksmono.com">gradyfausta@laksmono.com</a>>: >> Hi everyone, >> I'm applying to the Google Summer of Code 2009, proposing to develop the >> PackageDB Client as part of the Fedora feature.

The code is at <a href="https://fedorahosted.org/amber/" target="_blank">https://fedorahosted.org/amber/</a>. Unfortunately he left the project and there has been no progress after that. Maybe there is something you can reuse.
