Well, I know I'm asking for a few flames here, but, this |
2 |
idea just popped into my head and I cannot get rid of it. |

When you sync and update a system that has not been updated for |
6 |
a while, you get many packages to upgrade. OK usually not a problem. |
7 |
However, myself (and many other folks) are rather lazy: we do |
8 |
not watch the terminal session for hours, looking for those tidbits |
9 |
of info of little pesky admin things to do upon updating a package |
10 |
(let alone dozens of packages). |
11 |
|
12 |
We are also lazy: we do not parse the log files looking for those |
13 |
'little pesky admin things to do upon updating a package' |
14 |
either. |
15 |
|

|
17 |
Much pain results for lots of regular folks, like forgetting to |
18 |
run 'python-updater'. So any ideas on an enhancement/fix? |

21 |
Why, could the dev add an option that parses out all of those |
22 |
pesky admin things into either a singular log file? Or better |
23 |
yet, a gui popup that lists just those instructions for each |
24 |
package. Then a lazy admin could go through them, take whatever |
25 |
action necessary, and then just kill the pop-up. |
26 |
|
27 |
Just a thought, I figured I'd put up here for discussion. In fact |
28 |
some of the younger/sharper minds should come up with an even |
29 |
slicker way for those instructions to hang around, so that us |
30 |
lazy admins are forced into a convenient click or 2 to dismiss |
31 |
these little pesky admin caveats....? |
32 |
|
33 |
thoughts? |
