Package: update-notifier Version: 0.59.5.debian Severity: wishlist In src/update.c, the array "actions" defines what happens when options are selected from the pull-down menu of update-notitier, and when the icon is clicked with button 1. This hard-codes update-manager and synaptic as update viewer and package manager.
Some people like to use other package managers (which can also be used as update viewer), such as aptitude. Please get the first values of this array (the executed command) from a config file, instead of using hardcoded values. That way, advanced users can make use of update-notifier without needing to use a package manager they don't like.
