[packagekit] Your Up Date Application

[Daniel Nicoletti]

I liked the idea too, imo the user should be able to:

COMBO:
| Hourly
| Weekly
| Daily
| Never

[ ] Set preferred time: (CheckBox)
time: [23:30] (Time edit)

When the checkbox is checked it enables the custom
time editor.
I'd do this way...

Imo this is one of the problems that really complicates things,
i think as i proposed above that "preferred time" suggests
that some day this might not be the exact time.
I'd go with a tolerance, if the user doubles the time to do the
update and we are not at his selected time we should do it anyway,
maybe poping up something like:
-----------------------------------------------
The preferred time to update has expired
doing automatic updates forced.
                                             [Cancel]
-----------------------------------------------

I'm not sure of the UI for this... add another entry to the combo box:

| Hourly
| Weekly
| Daily
| Never
| At a specific time

Or just make sensitive a checkbox when daily is selected:

[ X ] At a specific time

And then provide a drop down combobox:

8AM
10AM
12AM
2PM
4PM
6PM
8PM
10PM
etc..

Or is there a generic time selector we should use? Ideas welcome.

Also, if the user has specified daily as the policy and the time set
to 2AM, what do we do if the user never leaves the computer switched
on overnight?

Richard.
