Basically, you'd have the python daemon that sits there and occasionally looks for updates. (You could also kick it over dbus to check now.) Users can either poke it to say if there's updates available, or the PackageManager could check for apps on dbus that have requested notifications of updates. Once an app such as the cracklet or yum, or whatever, has been notified of the update, it can call over dbus to the PM to get information on the update, the changelog, etc. Then it can display its pretty little dialog, and poke the PM over dbus to invoke yum/pup/whatever to do the update. <insert handwaving here in absence of any code whatsoever> Bill -- Fedora-config-list mailing list Fedora-config-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-config-list
