I was thinking of a new option for urpmi (say: "--changes") that would list
the changes between the installed version of a package and the most recent
available.
For example, if I had gkrellm-2.1.7a-1mdk installed, and gkrellm-2.1.7a-2mdk
was available, typing
# urpmi --changes gkrellm
would result in an output similar to
package gkrellm:
2.1.7a-1mdk ==> 2.1.7a-2mdk
gkrellmd initscript is back (thanks to Buchan Milne)
This would allow the user to type something like:
# urpmi --changes --auto-select
and get the list of changes for the packages that would be updated by
auto-select.
Thanks for your attention :)
