Hi Joakim,
>From my own opinion, MandrakeUpdateRobot is perfect for Mandrake because
the textmode setup wizard is very easy, and you can run it from DrakConf
too. No need to edit stupid configuration files. Another thing is, it's
optimized to use for Mandrake, and it doesn't use perl (unlike
autoinstallrpm). Many users don't want it to be written in Perl though,
so I wrote it in C++.
MandrakeUpdateRobot also e-mails the system administrator automatically
about the upgrade and the security vulnerability comprehensively so
sysadmins are completely aware of the situation. Does apt-get do this?
Take a look at http://www.cyest.org/drakupdatetxt/2001-02-25.txt. Does
apt-get verify the GnuPG signature check in case the server's got
tampered? I don't know.
Is it easy setting up apt-get or do users have to edit yet another
configuration file? Or is there an apt-get setup wizard (not regular
setup) that guide users step-by-step? :) With MUR, users don't even need
to read any fscking manual.
