MaxUpdater System

Design of the updater system is progressing. Main functions I wish to include are:
  • Download and install critical updates automatically
  • Download and install applications on demand
  • Download dependencies and install with dependant updates
  • Uninstall option for non critical updates
  • Distribution of packages to other BeOS Max computers in the same network
For now, MaxUpdater get a list of update packages from my main download site. A full mock-up app will be created next and I will post screen shots as soon as it is ready.
