I'm actually already working on a modification to this effect. The
necessary C code is written I just need to get it integrated into
rpmlib and then into urpmi.

I'd like rpmdrake & urpmi to have an option to list updates that are over say 'n'
days old, a command line switch for urpmi, eg:

urpmi --available_for 5

I've found that sometimes an rpm is released and it screws the system, a few
hours or days later a new rpm is released which cures the problem.

This option would effectively allow users (like me) to run a leading edge cooker,
not a bleeding edge one.

BTW: rpmdrake is what sways most people to change to Mandrake from the likes
of RH. Just need it to support deb's and for Mandrake to make the switch :-)
