Is there value in you doing that, Craig? I'd say: sure! :)
I think the first steps would be to research:
- What can lu(1m) do now?
- What can the Live Upgrade command line utils do now?
- What new features have been added to Live Upgrade which are
not represented in lu(1m)?
- What's the right technology choice for the front end?
web based? gnome? java? CUI--(like zonecfg)?
- Can the GUI be a wrapper around running commands, or is that
insufficient?
- What's the right "model" (think MVC) for the GUI. Is it
the set of BE's?
Thanks,
