MaxUpdater progress

Milestone 1 was reached with MaxUpdater.

It can now use wget to download itself (or any other file) from our file repository and it also updates itself.

The code will be 100% open, so you anyone can review it. Also I have decided to add 1 more feature to MaxUpdater. The ability to create your own repository so others can add it to MaxUpdater.

What I am thinking of finally creating is something that will work like the CNR service of Freespire.

Any thoughts, ideas or coding help would be appreciated.

why use the CNR style and not apt-get standard repoisitory style?

I suppose both could be used, but CNR is simpler for the user and better looking. We don't need another geek OS...

Whatever style, the structure of the updater files will be it's own. No need to bring linux problems into BeOS...

The BeOSMAX4 updater app is not usable for Haiku R1?
Please contribute this.
