Description: Due to a recent "it could only happen to a developer" misadventure, I accidentally the whole thing. So, I had to reinstall 4.1 from a backup I had, which was only Update 5. It's a common belief among certain detractors that both AmiUpdate will fall flat on it's behind and the only thing it has updates for is itself Here's proof to the contrary Picture Stats: Views: 835 Filesize: 198.8kB Height: 768 Width: 1024 Posted by: Karlos at April 28, 2013, 03:36:50 PM Image Linking Codes

I believe that the server only hosts components known not to conflict with each other (after the testers OK them). However, the rollback feature exists for that purpose. I've not had to use it yet though |
nicholas Posts:8833 | April 28, 2013, 04:40:34 PM Shh! You'll spoil the fun of certain "HypeOS" stalkers! On a serious note, is AmiUpdate based on an existing package management system or is it written from scratch? How does it resolve dependencies? Is it a case of just checking the version string of each component in true Amiga fashion? |
