In my opinion one of the bigger holes left in the school server is the

Agreed - it's a major item.
Actually the hard work is all done (XS has updates server, XO has
update client, both work well), the only missing bit is a section in
the OATS server implementation which actually tells the XOs about the
updates.
And I already did most of the work, anyone interested in continuing?

The conclusions from that thread is that MyConfigParser can probably
be reimplemented as a trivial ConfigParser subclass (diff it against
Python's copy, it's a trivial change IIRC) or we could switch to the
external iniparse module.
Yup - Daniel's code is good. Can anyone help integrate this?
Also. IIRC the client side stays on the one run per day policy and
doesn't retry hard enough. Once the XO has seen an upgrade to X msg,
it should retry aggressively on the rsync command until it gets all
the bits it needs. Or switch to a back off if network swamped
policy.
cheers,
