Hello
I'm pleased to announce the release of Reaction: an aptitude like application written specifically for ReactOS, developed in python. The project homepage is http://code.google.com/p/reaction/
The project have two goals: to provide a repository of free software applications that are known to work decently, i.e doesn't crash, with the latest release of ReactOS; And to provide an automated way to install a set of applications that make a desktop system, eg. Web browser, email client, media player, etc. on ReactOS, something like the GNU/Linux distributions like Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Mandriva and others.
Software freedom is really important to me, that's why Reaction is completely free software and the application repository will only have free software applications.
There is an installer available at http://reaction.googlecode.com/files/reaction.exe If you have some free time please check it out, and report any bugs you find to http://code.google.com/p/reaction/issues/list
Please remember this is the first release of reaction and it will have bugs for sure, so please be patient.
I'll write some documentation this weekend, but if you are familiar with aptitude, I'm pretty sure there will be no problem figuring reaction out.
I hope you find it useful.
Regards. David Zaragoza
ps. Try 'reaction install reactos-desktop' for a bundle of nice desktop applications. There are only three applications at the moment, but it will grow.
