I maintain a few machines and a server in my office and I periodically update them manually ( -Syu ).
Is there a way to push package updates to them ? Any project out there which does this ?
The tech side of the question has already been covered. I'd just want to point out that, with arch, automatic updates are *bad*. You should always check in real time the package manager messages: pac{save,new} files can be a real problem, especially if you're running a server. Update notification is fine for me. You could take a look at alunn/alunnd... I don't think it's network-enabled, but it's a good starting point to hack up a solution.
Well, I update the server manually, usually on new kernel releases. But the other machines are just basic clients and automatic package updating would be useful. Thanks anyway, I will probably write some simple scripts which do the job. Sujith -- http://sujith-m.blogspot.com
