I was going to post about this, just been busy this morning...
This is quite a nice improvement IMHO.
A bug which I'm sure you know about is, it doesn't save the packages to
ignore list, well after you exit and fire it up again you have to back in and
add all the packages to ignore again.
dep handling isn't as well though, in fact it's not really handled at all.
What should be implemented is the auto-dep from DrakX IMHO as well as asking
the user to meet deps bla bla these packages are going to be installed
[yes][no] ala urpmi style.
But other than that, I think MandrakeUpdate is on the right path.
Need a CLI version though : )
But keep up the good work on this, really great job IMHO.
