How about a /recheck parameter? Rainer? :p

Hi,
I've been messing around with the new wpkg.js and WPKG Client the past few days
and thought it would be cool if I didn't store the wpkg.xml files on the local
harddrives of the clients but on the server instead. Previously I just copied
the wpkg.xml file at the end of each run to the server

Hi,
I've got a little problem with my xml files and maybe someone knows the
solution for this problem...
In the config.xml file i wanted to use the following lines:

Hi,
I've just done a few tests messing with package dependencies and found an error
in the dependency chain handling.
This is how my dependencies chain looks like:
"QuickTime Alternative" depends on "Real Alternative"
"Real Alternative" depends on "PuTTY"
"PuTTY" depends on "Codec Pack"

Hi,
I've got a little problem installing VideoLAN VLC with WPKG. Actually, its the
uninstall I have problems with, the install is working perfectly fine.
This is my package entry for VLC (in this case its v0.8.4 but I've tested it
with all versions from 0.8.4 up to 0.

Hi,
after playing around with WPKG for quite a while now i finally also managed to
get the client installer to work.
But i there are a few things i'd really like to see implemented if its somehow
possible.

Been a while since I last wrote here but as I'm getting closer to finishing my
"dream-setup" more and more things WPKG lacks pop up.
1. A field for the download URL where the installer can be downloaded from.
Like for Sun Java or other free software that can be downloaded from the

Hi,
been some time since I last had the chance to do some work on my

_really_ like it to be implemented since it would make things _a lot_ easier
for all of us.
A current package entry would look something like this:
