A new version of fou4s, my alternative implementation of YaST Online
Update is out! Fou4s users should get it automatically tonight, everyone
else may want to try it and download from http://fou4s.gaugusch.at/ .
>From the Changelog:
* ~ 50% speed improvement
* Progress bar during checking
* More graceful handling of dependency problems (only affected packages
are not updated)
* Interactive mode allows to show description of an update [d]
* A logfile entry is written to /var/log/fou4s.log for each installed
package.
* SLES8 and SLOX4 support (testing needed, but should work)
See the full changelog at http://fou4s.gaugusch.at/changelog.shtml for
detailed information.
Special Notes for this Release:
* The UseFullPath option in fou4s.conf is now deprecated and will cause a
warning. Just remove the line if you have set it manually.
* On SuSE 8.1 two new packages will be found: ProOfficeInstallation and
InstDB. These are scripts, which probably everyone will want to skip.
(use "s" in interactive mode). The script support is a new feature of
fou4s.
kind regards,
Markus Gaugusch
PS: Users of business products are always welcome to tell me whether fou4s
works for them. I have no business product available for personal testing.
Especially the SLOX4 is interesting for me at the moment.
PPS: This is not tested with SuSE 8.2, but I'll do as soon as possible!
PPPS: If CheckFou4s is not set in fou4s.conf, fou4s cannot find updates
of itself!
