Hello
Here are some things in pup/pirut that (in my opinon) needs some 
improvement:
1)Make them somehow threaded...
The gui sometime does not respond or even redraw when some "huge work" 
is done in the background (even on a dual opteron box).Would spiltind 
the gui from the backend stuff into seperate thread help? the gui can be 
updated / rewdrawn while the other thread is doing the work.
2)Why does pirut close itself after it has done a task? for pup its ok 
to be closed after it has completed updates but pirut? After installing 
an app sometime I want to delete an other one or install a second one. I 
know that I can select many tasks at once but I see no reason why pirut 
should close it self.
3)Pup should show more info on updates like description a "normal" user 
may get confused by just seeing a name like hal, dbus or libXX. If pup 
could somehow show a description of what this package are this would be 
solved.
