--=-TIF0USnlsv4NvMsLtl0X Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi, Here is what I did for determining if a package should be updated. I'd like for comments on this mechanism. if there is pkg is installed that we have a header for then look through all our installed pkgs and return the highest version of any arch. If there is more than one arch of the highest version return the bestarch. Return the same information for the available headers/pkgs Compare the version information for the highest version and bestarch in the rpmdb and the highest version and bestarch in the available headers. if the available header is newer then mark it to be updated. Catches: this means that if you've installed kernel.i386 on an i686 machine. When new kernels become available if there is a kernel.i686 available then it will be installed. I think this makes sense and is the "correct" way to handle it - but I'd like to hear what others say. -sv --=-TIF0USnlsv4NvMsLtl0X Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQA+W+++1Aj3x2mIbMcRAn02AJ0ZPF29g6YI9hROBkRqtug+RIZgeACgjTnF vU4arr6f6fPmjIS4qZeieZU= =iHgU -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-TIF0USnlsv4NvMsLtl0X--
