Whenever you do a cache update, by default once a week.

I guess it's a matter of convenience, and just choosing a default.

Yes, that makes sense.

> 4. we should add support --package=InputFile

Sure, I guess.

Like what sort of information?

> 6. can we have gpk-update-viewer to work with service pack

I think it's a different use case. Having to open the update viewer,
locate the file and run it seems a lot harder than just clicking on
the service pack file.
