If you are going to do the scripts its better to have an XML descriptor for
repositories and a helper tool for moz/firefox that knows that media type.
You can then click and subscribe to repositories which is *not* the same thing
as the windows click/download model because
- Repositories have keys
- You know *where* a package comes from
- You get updates automagically
There's more to package management than choosing a representation for metadata.
But clearly the windows installer model is the strongest surviving paradigm.
Reboot! Reboot! Reboot!
A bit sad, really.
