ETA? Soon. This is going to be my top priority in about a week. There are screenshots of the current update system that I wrote a couple of summers ago on the wiki[0], and some notes for the new system. I checked in the first bits of the new version into cvs today. It doesn't do much, but it defines the database model and a few controllers, and lots of TODO comments. If anyone is interested in helping out with this project, please let me know. I will be laying out some detailed tasks in the near future that people can work on. luke [0]: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/UpdatesSystem -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
