| A scaleable system which could be used by individuals, companies, archives, etc., functioning in a similar manner to the up2date utility on RHLinux, or Windows Update. - remote server of install packages and version info - local client This could run in a 2-tier manner: one local machine acts as a client, accessing net-based resource(s) and downloading needed updates. The same machine could act as a local server for other local machines. Updates could be marked as critical etc., but individual machines would still have the last say. For example, I could say that all system updates should be automatically be downloaded and applied EXCEPT for xyz, because it will conflict with abc, which I use a lot... Could this be done as a website? (PHP/MySQL + some small client code written in YFL (your favorite language)) How about Rebol? (This ties in with the general need for some kind of global versioning and dependancy tracking for all Amiga software; a fairly ambitious project which I'm sure others have thought of, attempted, and abandoned at various times in the past...) |
