It's not that don't understand Open Source. FYI, I'm a member of Gnome
Foundation too, and I've published some of my software too, from
Assembly, Pascal, C, to C++, and they're open-source. It's just my old
habbit not to copycat.

However, I think you and damien are right.  At the first time I thought
I want to do everything from scratch. Hrhm.. but you're right, I'll have
to develop this pretty quickly before 7.3/8.0 is out. I'll have to reuse
some of the function in MandrakeUpdate. Point well taken :)

Starting from tomorrow, it will be available from
