Um... Finding out about new packages is fine, but having it only work as
long as you have everything in a particular group IMO isn't useful.
I'd rather see "interests", i.e. "subscribe" to certain groups to get
notification of new packages in that group. And there needs to be a way
to run updates without pulling new packages (and once I've declined a
new package from a group I am subscribed to, I should never be prompted
about it again).
you want to update your system w/o pulling down the pkgs? That's, umm,
very difficult. One might even say impossible.
No. I want to update everything currently installed, and be /offered/
anything new. By "new packages" I mean "packages that didn't exist last
time I ran updates" (as opposed to "updates of already installed
packages"). Sorry for the confusion.
I think what you want out of groups is beyond the scope of what we're
trying to do.
That may be. In which case, I guess the point is just that what you're
doing is not something that will be useful to me, as I don't typically
install entire groups (ever). (On my Asus, I even wrote a script to find
all packages that are not on, or dependencies of, a "whitelist" and
remove them.)
