-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 release-upgrader is the part of Update Manager that upgrades Ubuntu from one version to the next.
Currently it uses apt directly. This has several drawbacks. For example, it uses the ugly gksudo prompt instead of the nicer PolicyKit one. And if you happen to be installing or removing an application in Ubuntu Software Center, instead of waiting for that to finish, the upgrade just fails. These problems can be fixed by porting release-upgrader to use Aptdaemon, like Ubuntu Software Center and the rest of Update Manager do. (It would also make sense to split it off into a separate codebase from update-manager.) If anyone would like to tackle this, here's the code: <https://code.launchpad.net/update-manager> And here's the Aptdaemon reference: <http://packages.python.org/aptdaemon/> If you need help, you can find Michael Vogt (mvo) in the #ubuntu-devel IRC channel.
