i have a lot of friends who use windows xp,while im using freebsd and im happy with it,more than my friends with windows. i want that they could try this powerful os,but i need that it could be more user friendly. ## Deliverables freebsd needs to have more gui and wizards to make things easier. i've looked all around that a lot of projects use python to make their guis. the first thing in freebsd which need to have a gui is the ports installation. what i need to have is a gui with a blank field where peoples write a variable (the right path where the port it is) and a button where there is written "install now". when this button is pressed,some shell commands should be executed. i want to change these commands easily because im not a coder,and i want to use this gui for a lot of operations. i will use this gui for the following operations : 1) ports tree syncronizing : to do each time before to install a port. the command to be invoked by the gui is : /usr/ports/make index 2) port installation : the gui should look inside the ports tree where it is the port to install and do : "make install clean". here there are 1 variable to get and two commands to execute: the variable to get from the gui is the right path of the port. for example for apache is : /usr/ports/www/apache-1.3.29_3 the first command to be invoked by the gui is cd /usr/ports/www/apache-1.3.29_3 and the second is : make install clean 3) clean the package db from errors : the command to be invoked by the gui is : pkgdb -F 4) to keep the ports db updated : the command to be invoked by the gui is : portsdb -uU 5) update of a selected port : the gui should get the name of the port to upgrade. the command to be invoked by the gui is : portupgrade name of the port 6) delete a port : the gui should get the name of the package to deinstall the command to be invoked by the gui is : pkg_deinstall name of the port commands explained from point 1 3 and 4 should be invoked by the gui in invisible mode. will be wonderful if a progress bar will tell how much time it remains to end the operation :-) the gui should inform that the current operation is ended,too. ## Platform freebsd.
