I should be very fast. (When i launch it interactively here on a lan connection, the first time it takes 30s to launch, the second 6s on a XP1600+ with 265Mo RAM). Don't you think a flag could be used insttead of reading the whole update.lists ? For example : You install Mandrake 9.2. One month after there is a bugfix : the flag comes to 9.2_bugfix_0 to 9.2_bugfix_1 For upgrades : the flag comes to 9.2_upgrade_0 to 9.2_upgrade_1 For security : the flag comes to 9.2_security_0 to 9.2_security_1 Like this, the process should be very rapid, and if the last number on the installed machine is lower than the number for the update, you can get a notification. Fast, reliable, could be integrated easily in urpmi -urpmi --notify or similar ? Stef -- Teletch�a St�phane <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
