since we have the pacman lib, it's not too complicated to write an applet for this. just an icon change and then the user clicks on it, he/she is asked about "do you want to run -Syu in a terminal now?" is somebody is intereted, then i can write an example console tool that just exists with 0/1 depending on there is an update available or not. but i won't write the applet part, sure :) (if you want to write it using qt, here is a usefull link: http://qtnode.net/wiki/Systray udv / greetings, VMiklos -- Developer of Frugalware Linux, to make things frugal - http://frugalware.org _______________________________________________ Frugalware-devel mailing list [email protected] http://frugalware.org/mailman/listinfo/frugalware-devel
