Is there any difference here that I'm overlooking? Any advantage to RDJ?
And leading to my next point, given that sa-update is working fine --
isn't rdj going to be slimmed down to just the part that restarts the
process after running sa-update?
Hi Jo,
I'm the author of RDJ. I wrote it for the purpose of updating the then
blossoming field of 3rd party rulesets at a time when there was no
official update mechanism in SA. Now that there/ is/ an official SA
update mechanism, I have no plans to further enhance RDJ. I will
continue to fix bugs and add rulesets to the default list, if people
request so. There will be no "slimming-down" since I see no reason to
surprise 5000 users by making them change what works fine for them now :).
The discussion of pros and cons for implementing sa-update or rdj has
already been handled nicely by other people, so I won't go into that.
Want my advice as the RDJ author? Use sa-update. If you want to update
a ruleset which has no sa-update channel then set up RDJ at that time
and use it conjunction with sa-update.

PS sorry I got into this conversation so late. I tend to track my
mailing lists infrequently
