About package names... -tui is usually used for text uis and -gui for graphical
uis. Perhaps you should do a separate subpackage for the text ui as smart-tui..?
(If the text ui is something the user can live without. If I've understood
correctly, it is.) I don't know which is better for the gui package: smart-gui,
smart-gui-gtk or smart-gtk. I'd say choose the name which follows other similar
package names. (I think smart-gui would follow better. At least there are
system-config-*-gui packages out there but no system-config-*-gtk packages.)

Actually I should have said "Where's gsmarttray?". Anyway, I've always liked the
up2date system tray (because it lets me run the updates manually but still tells
me when there are new updates) and I'd be happy if smart could have a similar
applet. But, I'd like to see gnome/gtk style applet in addition to the kde/qt
one because I won't be installing qt and kde libraries just because of one small
applet for gnome... (Perhaps this discussion belongs to upstream though. If yes,
please tell the message. :))

Anyways, I'd like to see smart/smartpm in extras-development soon. Don't hold it
here at bugzilla for too long.

Oh, about the package name (smart vs. smartpm)... If you feel strong about
smartpm instead of smart, why not ask the upstream smart developers if they
could change the tar name?
