was this list created/checked by a acript that it detected "have"
and "needed" ??
- "have" can be easy .. may ways to get that info ( dpkg )
- "needed" can tricky by parsing the SA or originating
author's site
- next step is to give that script the option to upgrade
only the selected package for the user's PC ??
- d/l and install the "needed" upgrades based on what
packages was previusly installed on the users page
- web page based - nah .. too much work for the user
to know which ones to apply ?
- maybe a new option "dpkg security-check" and "dpkg security-upgrade"
is all that is needed, since the rest of the infastructure is already
in place
thanx
