Once you have those features, will you be adding support where a non-privileged user could potentially launch a wpkg upgrade while logged in? Perhaps much like Windows/Microsoft updates, where it could check to see if there are any changes every so often, and then let the user know what changes would be applied and give them the option to proceed? That would be very cool.

As things stand now, we've been reluctant to upgrade large packages (say, Office 2007->2010), as this would be applied when they turn on their computers, and they might have to wait an hour before they can use their machines. But if the user got a notice that the update was ready, they could choose to apply it or be aware that it will install on the next reboot.

Thanks,

Brent

Hi, I have been really busy lately, but today I started working on wpkg-gp
0.6 again, which is a rewrite of it all, needed to be able to scale a bit
more like:
- Being able to run as another user
- Being able to elevate privileges (needed for being able to reboot when
needed) (a real showstopper with pre 0.6)
- And much more :)

This is not in place yet, but the architecture is very soon. (Finishing
build scripts now). I will not promise any date (I have done so in the past,
and faile miserably), but soonish :)

I'm using version 0.4 on windows 7 64.
(still available on the site)

But why did 0.5 disappear?

There were some issues with it.

Please see wpkg-gp mailing list for more info.
