IMPORTANT 
----------

This program includes both a command-line and a Gtk GUI wrapper for
the MiKTeX Package Manager (MPM) from Christian Schenk (see www.miktex.org)
and is NOT meant to replace MPM.

The program is written in python. The parsing of the database has been rewritten but 
operations on repositories as well as installation/removal of packages are performed
by calling MPM. Several options have been added to the command line for convenience.



PREREQUISITES
-------------

The MiKTeX Package Manager must be installed (with all its dependencies)

* Python

* pygtk 

* libglade 

* gksu2 (from gnome-python-extras), 
			OPTIONAL: It will allow to run the program as user but install packages in a
			write-protected directory just asking the ROOT password 

			NOTE: gksu2 is currently only available on CVS for gnome-python-extras


INSTALLATION
------------

run :

setup.py install --record installedfiles.txt

This will install all files and keep track of them in a file called installedfiles.txt

Later you can remove all files by running

/usr/share/gmpm/gmpm-uninstall.py
