I don't think PackageKit is particularly useful in that way currently, but I can see it growing into that role. Sort of a pulseaudio for rpm. One thing that would be helpful for us for yum-updatesd for servers is the ability to make it do updates at specific times (maybe with a few minutes of randomization, but within a known window). That is, like yum-cron. The daemon approach has some advantages, though. So, I was thinking perhaps a cron job that talks to a daemon (probably through D-BUS, although really a simple signal would be sufficient) to do the heavy lifting.... -- Matthew Miller [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/> _______________________________________________ Yum-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/mailman/listinfo/yum-devel
