Right now, it's not possible. You could use a script in WPKG Client to detect i.e. slow network and decide if you want to continue installation, but I guess it's not really what you need. Also, we could make WPKG Client display a little tray icon, where user could see (similar to Windows updates): "there are pending updates - apply y/n"? And install only if the user agrees (configurable). It would need some changes in WPKG Client and wpkg.js.

See InfoMessage and wpkgmessage here: http://wpkg.org/User_contributed_software You could run it as the very last command. Showing status in "tray" would be another thing, but is not yet implemented. -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://wpkg.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------- wpkg-users mailing list archives >> http://lists.wpkg.org/pipermail/wpkg-users/ _______________________________________________ wpkg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.wpkg.org/mailman/listinfo/wpkg-users
