Maybe I should have added the (obviously in my eyes obvious) argument: The current update-procedures are launched by a GUI-application and then open a window that is asking questions which need keyboard interaction. And in some cases the default answer (at least in Fedora) (which is making things worse – at least the default Xterm is looking different for Fedora and Debian) is not what you want. Or at least not what I want (aborting the update). Now someone wants to add another bloody interactive option that will require at least me to select the non-default option. No. Thank you very much, but no. If someone is making things even more like a text adventure they could just as well do it right, make the update process command line based and give up interactive decisions in favor of command line parameters to finally deliver a launch-and-forget solution. That could be easily scripted without opening that barrel of salt. Achim -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
