Dear Eric,
Actually, the qtp-newmodel has already made my life much much easier. Thank
you very much for creating such a wonderful program.
Best regards,
Bill

Rightly so. So don't reply yes if you already have a newer version. :)

You may. ;)
Seriously though, qtp-newmodel presently assumes that if a different
version
is on the main site then it's newer. Bad assumption I know, but it was
adequate for the early release. I've been wanting to make the devel
packages
available to qtp-newmodel for a while now, which will require this ><
logic.
I hope to have this logic included in the next release, along with
improving
the package selection process. You can see in the script comments that
there's a 'future enhancements' section where I've been noting this sort
of
thing.

That portion (dns related packages) could use some work too. You can
modify
the /opt/qmailtoaster-plus/bin/qtp-remove-pkgs script to remove it. In the
a3_obsolete_packages() function, simply add a line "djbdns \" to the list
between removepkgs="\ and the terminating double-quote.

You could do it automatically now with cron (as long as you have the
standard packages), but I wouldn't recommend it (nor any automatic
software
updates other than freshclam or perhaps rdj).
You can use qtp-ami-up2date to email you when there are updates available
though. See the wiki documentation for details.

Thanks for using qtp-newmodel, and providing the feedback. That's the way
things get better!
