Hi All, I have been using packagekit for some time now and it an amazing piece of software. Kudos to everyone working on this. There is one feature which i think would make updating desktops much more easier and safer, that would be ability to install software on reboot, so that existing applications are not disturbed. So here is my suggestion: 1. PackageKit downloads the updates silently in a cache folder. This can be toggled on or off by root or users (depending on policykit) 2. On reboot, just before the gdm window, it opens a dialog , asking if the user, if he wants to install those updates. If the user agrees the updates are installed , if not optionally it should be able to mail the admin of or system that it failed etc. This basically has many advantages: 1. Applications sp ones based on gecko get mangled, when they are updates and behave strangely. The best way to update then is to close them update and open them, which would mean loosing all work. 2. The above enables corporate desktop updates in a more easier and controlled way. Just my 2 cents. Regards, Huzaifa Sidhpurwala.
