Do you have a good solution for handling packages that cannot be upgraded while the HAF is running? Currently at least maemo-launcher falls in this category. I have listed in the Maemo Wiki [1] the current problems with upgrading Sardine on the 770, this seems to be the thorniest issue right now. I had a chat with Guillem some time ago. I got the picture that making maemo-launcher upgradeable without shutting down the HAF would be quite hard. So I've been thinking about a separate tool that would shut down the HAF and do the upgrade non-interactively, before starting the HAF again. I've just started hacking on something along these lines docked to the status bar. But maybe you have a better idea? Maybe we're being too pessimistic about the maemo-launcher?
