It's very simple though, it just calls "smart update" on a regular basis (interval is hardcoded in the sources), checks the output and reports it. So it's a lot like SuSE-watcher.
If someone with some KDE hacking skills would like to spend a little time on it, I think it's pretty easy to expand (it already does the dirty job of interfacing with smart)... or even use SuSE-watcher and copy/paste the ksmarttray code "smart update" output checking code into it. if anybody would patch the suse-watcher to check about new updates with the smart engine, it would check the smart sources (channels=sources > jpp) for updates. If you then press the Button "Update now", the SuSE(Yast) Online Update would appear, which has mostly different sources. So it would only make sence when the hacked suse-watcher only checks

Well, obviously suse-watcher should also be modified to start "smart --gui" instead of YOU (but that's really the easy part) ;)
I would really *love* that! Since thursday I'm a new Smart lover, And the main reason I like it so much (besides the fact that it actually works perfectly ;-) is that it provides a distribution-independant solution. I think that this is good for general acceptance of Linux on the desktop. No need to re-invent the wheel everytime... What I would like to see that the SUSE specific channels you added to the package (thank you for that!) will be done in a separate package. So the distribution comes with a default package with the Smart tooling, and a separate package with all known additional distribution specific repositories. But first we need a KDE Smart gui :-) Regards Harry --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-help@opensuse.org
