Description:  Debian System Wide Information System

SWIM is a program which adds rpm-like quering capabilities to the Debian
system.  Information for an installed Debian system is extracted from the
/var/lib/dpkg/info* files and the status file, information for an uninstalled
(not-installed) system is extracted from Packages and Contents files which can
be conveniently downloaded with a built-in ftp client.  Although there are many
similarities which will feel comfortable to experienced rpm users, there are
also major differences between swim and rpm.  Besides file queries, directory
queries will show all packages associated with the directories in relation to
the root directory.  There is a simple and powerful search option to find
packages who's descriptions match the keyword, this can be combined with a very
fast search of all files and directories.  If there are several packages to be
presented by a query, swim tells how many, and then the -t option can be used
to view the packages; the default output is easy to understand because packages
are labeled.  Swim provides a perfect interface to apt-get.  This interface is
perfected by the ability to manage many different types of databases: 
databases for the real installed system, and databases for virtually (not real)
installed systems, the archictecture(s)  and distribution(s) are your choice. 
Virtual installation capabilities combined with searching, quering, and
readline editing provide an extrememly powerful upgrading experience. Swim
provides people the ability to make a customized distribution for
redistribution or for personal use.  Non-Debian systems can use swim without
dpkg to compare Debian packages to non-Debian packages as well as downloading
source or even binaries for installation if everything checks out (a good way
to troubleshoot alien). Portablility shows the whole world an intelligent
package management system (with DOS in the picture).  Troubleshooting is
greatly simplified for missing files, the integrated Debian menu system, and
many other things.  You can double check the md5sums of both packages and
files; the statuses of both *deb packages, and not-installed packages are given
in relation to your installed system, and missing blanks are filled in. 
Versatility..swim has a lot of this like it's DF (default directory) structure
which makes managing databases, packages, and even creating a customized
distribution a cinch. 


Plan:

-- keeping just for historic interest

Eventually add information about every executable and significant
program every source ball has, and provide sophisticated searching
capabilities.  This information will come from the ThE_* Project
database, and will be able to be used by other packaging systems or
programs.  Swim will have editing capabilities, and will be linked via 
cgi to html files.  And that's just the beginning, the possiblities
are enormous!  Goal: Guru knowledge about a Free Software system for
anyone, find the program to do the job easily.
