<p>Hey Heiko,</p>
<p>My fork is based on the latest git version so it should be
0.18b1, but i think you figured that out allready.</p>
<p>Regarding the generated update xml:<br>
</p>
We have quite the uniform structure regarding os and software in our
organisation so i didnt really thought about this problem. I had the
idea you mentioned (using wpkg to query the updates) before but i
ditched it because i didnt wanted to mess with wpkg-gp in any way
when i started the project. <br>
Since i ended up creating my own fork anyway this is a good idea and
it would also fix the problem of not being able to query newly
installed packages, tho i wonder how big the impact on the wpkg
server would be if you do this i alot (im not an expert on this
topic). <br>
<br>
I will definatly look into this but it will take a bit longer since
i have to mess more with other peoples code :) <br>
<br>
Thanks for the feedback!<br>
<br>
Best Regards,<br>
Nils<br>

few questions on the approach:</font><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<font face="sans-serif" size="2">Using a special XML with just the
version<br>
brings a few little problems:</font><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<font face="sans-serif" size="2">* it ignores changes to profiles
and<br>
hosts</font><br>
<br>
<font face="sans-serif" size="2">* it ignores any changes that
actually<br>
depend on advanced mechanisms of package matching (architecture,
dependencies,<br>
extended matches) that may change in updated packages.</font><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<font face="sans-serif" size="2">what would you think of - instead
of<br>
generating a special file and parsing that - just leave the
package matching<br>
mechanics up to wpkg.js - that would mean:</font><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<font face="sans-serif" size="2">* modifying wpkg-gp to be able to
execute<br>
wpkg.js in Query-Mode (for example 'cscript /NoLogo /E:Jscript
!SCRIPTPATH!<br>
/synchronize /query:uI' will output a list of all packages wpkg
will update<br>
or install on the next run - this is the statement i use on my
little wpkg-notification<br>
batchfile)</font><br>
<br>
<font face="sans-serif" size="2">* then communicate that list to
wpkg-gp-client<br>
to display it.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="sans-serif" size="2">* bonus points if the resulting
list<br>
could be filtered for packages you don't want the user to be
nagged with.</font><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<font face="sans-serif" size="2">That way you eliminated the need
for<br>
a special file and the extra step of generating it. And you
don't have<br>
to maintain the logic for determining the update list because
wpkg.js already<br>
does that anyway. </font><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<font face="sans-serif" size="2">And you still wouldn't need user
permissions<br>
on the wpkg share because wpkg-gp is doing the query.</font><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<font face="sans-serif" size="2">What's you opinion?</font><br>

just a stupid question: Did you merge the bugfixes that went

Hey,<br>
<br>
I have just uploaded my latest release to the github page
(0.9.6.6):</font></tt><font color="blue" size="3"><u><br>
<br>
</u></font><a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://github.com/sonicnkt/wpkg-gp-client/releases"><tt><font
color="blue" size="2"><u>https://github.com/sonicnkt/wpkg-gp-client/releases</u></font></tt></a><tt><font
size="2"><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I think i have ironed out most bugs and disabled the debug
console <br>
<br>
window because of this.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
This release depends on the latest version of my wpkg-gp
modification:</font></tt><font color="blue" size="3"><u><br>
<br>
</u></font><a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://github.com/sonicnkt/wpkg-gp/releases/tag/v0.17.11"><tt><font
color="blue" size="2"><u>https://github.com/sonicnkt/wpkg-gp/releases/tag/v0.17.11</u></font></tt></a><tt><font
size="2"><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Both programs are tested on several systems in our
organisation (windows<br>
<br>
<br>
7 to windows 10) and even different language settings,<br>
<br>
but i should still mention that this shouldnt be used in
production <br>
<br>
right away and you should test it in your environment before
that.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Check out the wiki on github: </font></tt><font color="blue"
size="3"><u><br>
<br>
</u></font><a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://github.com/sonicnkt/wpkg-gp-client/wiki"><tt><font
color="blue" size="2"><u>https://github.com/sonicnkt/wpkg-gp-client/wiki</u></font></tt></a><tt><font
size="2"><br>
<br>
I should have added all the necessary information to get this
running on<br>
<br>
<br>
your systems.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
If you encounter any errors please report them on github.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Hope to get some feedback on this soon :)<br>
<br>
