M-Kay… I’ll bite…. with some Q’s….  ;)

Where does the updater check for updates?
Where are the updates remotely stored?
When you state “program” does that include device drivers, libs, datatypes, etc…?
Will the updater check for outdated components within an Amiga “program”? I.E., P96, Wordsworth, etc…?
Are all updates already scanned for viruses?
Once the updater has determined appropriate updates, does it display all the updates before installation?
Will each update be displayed with a box, to select or deselect, any updates that I choose?
Will each update have a link for “description of update”?
As outlawal2 asked, can I uninstall any of the updates individually or the entire update process?
Will the updater create a log of installed updates?
Will the updater move my old component(s) to a “safe folder” for easy retrieval if an update breaks something?
Will the updater warn if an individual update is older than a component already installed on my system?
Will the updater warn me if something needs to be changed in my startup-sequence?
What if my system will not boot after an update?
Is the "Updater" suitable for all versions of AmigaOS?

BTW, you're download links are dead.  ::)

Okay, you get the idea……   ;D

You know, this is going to make Kolla’s head explode with legal questions!  :o

Tygre, sorry if I came off as reactionary... well, I guess I did...  hahaha... I think this project is awesome! Amiga users have needed something like this for a long time! In my mind, this seems to be a YUgggge undertaking! However, I know that you gained a lot of experience with your AmiMod project... I followed it closely since it's inception. Great program.

I know you'll create a great program that will utilize your AmiEducation & get a lot of great help from the community too!

My previous bullet points/Q's were meant to convey... WTF... how's this program gonna work?

BTW, I would have RTFM if your links had worked.... ARRRGGG!

& thanks for posting over here at AO!

Anyhoo, congrats on the launch!

  • Is the "Updater" suitable for all versions of AmigaOS? I humbly believe that it should work on AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS and AROS but I have only tested it on AmigaOS 3.1.4!

AmigaOS 3.1.4! WTH! Now I have a bunch more questions (man, thanks for that excellent detailed reply!). However, no time! Gotta go to my sister-in-law's - What a day I'm having!  :-\
