New Update Notifier in Hoary!

[piedamaro]

It's neat Did anyone know anything about it? I was like: "what? this is an update notify icon and a simplified synaptic!"

Never seen it before. Where did you find it?

$ sudo apt-get install upgrade-notifier
$ sudo apt-get install gnome-app-install

This is new package. I like manually update. ^^;

Thanks for the tip. Going to check it out now.

Hmm. Very Fedora.

Hmm. Very Fedora.

It's good, I was missing a update notifier which works well (unlike apt-watch).
Also the new add/remove interface will help newbies a lot.

I was poking with the ubuntu wiki, when I've found a chapter called PackageMangement or something, and there was written that they have these nice applications ready for hoary.

Hmm. Very Fedora.

That was exactly my thought after installing, though it does serve its purpose for some people and kudos to those who find it useful!

I don't really dig apt-watch, but I don't yet understand how to get upgrade-notifier to work. I see it running in the process manager, but I've purposefully left upgrades waiting to see if the upgrade-notifier will actually notify me, and so far it's a bust.
