Hi !

I've got a lot to say today !
First of all I was surprised by the number of failed test in my last release of the slackget10 Perl module. After some work on this, and with the great help of David Cantrell, we managed to find to work out the problem.
It is in the test suite of XML::Simple (used by slackget10::Base and other slackget10::* classes) : if XML::Parser failed to install the XML::Simple's test suite do not chain fail, and the installation is not done well, but it's done.
So if you try to use XML::Simple with the directive :
$XML::Simple::PREFERRED_PARSER='XML::Parser';
slackget10::Base just crash. David submitted a patch which is very simple but also very efficient :
eval 'use XML::Parser';
if($@) {
    warn("XML::Parser is not installed. XML processing operations will be very slow.\n");
} else {
    $XML::Simple::PREFERRED_PARSER='XML::Parser' ;
}

It fixed the problem, and I have integrated it directly to the trunk of slack-get SVN repository.

The second point is the slack-get communication protocol draft. Things are going well, I think I finished to determine at least 70% of the communication needs.
If you are willing to give me an advice on this draft do not hesitate ! Go checkout the SVN version and have a look in the trunk/devel/ directory.

About sg_daemon now : I've got the internal scheduler working ! yeehaa !
I've finish the porting of the "installed packages list building" functionality  and it's now working with the internal scheduler of sg_daemon.
The great thing is : that was the hardest part :)
Porting the other functionalities will be easy... or not... indeed some internal functions of sg_daemon are not adapted to the POE architecture and will take some time to port.

Last but not least, I've come with a new icon for slack-get, feel free to give your opinion :
