What is your secret? Live next door to the server room? Should I move?
Please share! :-) I'd like to hear some results from non-Trustix folk too.
My connection is 5MB and swup takes 25-30 seconds for each
invocation. It's always slow; the time is apparently spent in the
"Fetching upgrade info" step, if I flush-cache it jumps to 75 seconds.
With 3.0 I am using mirrors and it's still slow. (I wonder if I can
find faster mirrors or at least shinier ones?)

Did you gasp and and say "I SIMPLY can't believe he doesn't know this?
It's written, well, nowhere actually, but he doesn't know it??"
Suggestion 1: Put it in the man page near the top. I will put it in the wiki.
Suggestion 2: Change the messages returned when a non-root/non-trusted
user uses swup so that it is readable by first circle swup gurus.
Currently it pumps out a long message about my system clock being
wrong and about files not being trusted. It does this about 5 times or so
(one for each repository), it takes about 60 seconds to do this.
So I get slapped three times, the command does not work, it gives
wordy unhelpful messages, and it takes a long time. Whoever wrote this
clearly is trying to punish me. Why? What did I do? I try to be nice...
I am afraid I don't understand the key requirement. If any user can
import the keys but the command won't work until it's been done,
why not tell him what you are doing and just do it for him?
I realize making things be easy flies in the face of UNIX tradition
but I do it anyway all the time. (Maybe this is why you are punishing me)
Anyway, UNIX tradition calls for short, useless messages and
you have already violated that! It should be something like:
% swup --install kernel
Segmentation fault.
or for Windows converts
% swup --install apache-html
You must now restart your system.
Psst -- it's spelled "suceeded" not "succeded" :-)

Yes -- I don't watch TV but I hear lots of people use the 30-60 second
ad breaks for something else. swup is slow enough for me to check email.

I am a busy man, remember?? :-)
I will surely share anything I cook up.
