- saurik 11y agoNo. I have actually never heard of this project (either raptorial or SprezzOS). FWIW, I don't actually care about the performance of APT on my servers (where I mostly am running Ubuntu), and for Cydia I link against libapt and thereby don't use the tools (at some point jailbreaks actually stopped shipping the command line tools by default as they were large and unused by 99% of our users). The web page for raptorial seems to be offline, the project is two years stale, and I spent a few minutes glancing through the code and came across a "fix me" comment next to the version comparison function (one of the most important parts of anything that even sort of works with APT, and something I have now written many implementations of in various languages) saying it doesn't work correctly for numbers, and so the project has earned a "vote of no confidence" from me (sorry :().
