When I use Pakfire from WUI, I see an strange character in download speed. Screenshot was taken from RPI running IPfire but the issue is not limited to ARM platform… This is just a cosmetic issue.
I use Brave WWW browser to access WUI.
[root@rpifire ~]# pakfire status
Core-Version: 2.27-aarch64
Core-Update-Level: 176
Last update: 17d 1h 32m 41s ago
Last core-list update: 19h 51m 1s ago
Last server-list update: 19h 51m 5s ago
Last packages-list update: 45m 56s ago
Core-Update available: no
Package-Updates available: 0
Reboot required: no
BTW, Pakfire doesn’t accept parameter --version. It will be nice to add it.
Another cosmetic issue is that I do not like icons for “Install” and “Abort”. These are “non-standard” and really confusing. I would prefer to see just buttons with label “Install” and “Cancel”…
Another issue. When I enter wrong command to pakfire, it writes “help” to /var/log/messages. That is totally useless behavior; it is not visible what triggered the error, so it has no value… Try pakfire test; and check /var/log/messages:
