Hi everyone!
I am the project founder of Listaller, which is the project a lot of the
AP code went into. In fact, Listaller was already supporting Autopackage
packages through an abstraction layer before.

http://groups.google.com/group/listaller Thanks for the nice works Jan! The Listaller project is undergoing a lot
of major changes at time.
For example PackageKit will support Listaller soon, which makes all
frontends display applications installed with Listaller or one of the other
installation methods it supports (LOKi, Mojo, Autopackage, ZI, Native Pkg).
Also, I am rewriting parts of the IPK specs (the Listaller setup format)
to make it possible for use to use ZeroInstall feeds as dependecies.
The Autopackage tools will also need to be better integrated, rewriting
the liCreator package creation GUI in C++/Qt is also planned.
So you see, there are many plans and there's a lot of work to do - but
with AP and the PAPPi software store concept inside, this will really rock!

I want to thanks you again for this difficult step in merging the two
projects. In fact, I got a lot of inspiration from AP.
Thanks!
