mac_v: Ah, I should update that screenshot. The list of updates is generated by a modified version of apt-check, a python script included with update-notifier. The modification is now able to associate each updated package with an installed metapackage (such as 'ubuntu-desktop', 'kubuntu-desktop' or 'linux-generic') or, failing that, a package name that can be installed be the add/remove application. Thus, the user will only see updates for the base OS or things they will have installed manually.
I'm told the modifications to apt-check at least will be going into karmic - what, if anything, will use them is currently up in the air. -- [Jaunty] Update Notifier icon would provide useful status information https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/332945 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
