> So... What you're asking for is WSUS ;) More or less, yes. But I unattended+wpkg is going to run off of a Linux server and there wont be a Windows server in the network. So WSUS isnt an option.

As long as the guys over at Unattended keep updating their .bat files this shouldnt be a problem. You can just write a script to parse the .bat files and generate the entries for packages.xml. > Could be done, but it would be a lot better with a tool to automate it all, > which is what WSUS does. Of course it would be better if I could use something like WSUS (on a Linux server). But just think about other software that needs updates or additional packages to be installed. First example that comes to my mind would be "IrfanView" which 'needs' all the plugins to be installed too. Currently you'd have to create two entries in packages.xml or run a batch file that installs both. Not a very nice solution. - jens ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ wpkg-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wpkg-users
