Hmm, perhaps you're the only one to find something like that useful :)
Why wouldn't you like to have a clear idea what's installed where?
Unless your hosts are on a dial-up line, I see no obstacle to that.
Thanks for any pointers or help in achieving this.
I was thinking about it, and it can be done if you know some batch
scripting.
Perhaps it can be even done with WPKG (with the additional "root" for a
second instance of WPKG).
You want to have:
1) latest version installed, or
2) nothing installed at all.
So use WPKG to check if the given software is installed in the latest
version, and if not, launch the installer, which would be a batch script.
Then this batch script (or a second instance of WPKG?) would check if
the software is there:
- if not - then quit,
- if there - upgrade to the latest version.
Something like that.
