Hi everybody!
Does anybody you update your funplug packages automatically?
I thought about putting the line from the readme
Using rsync, you can download and install additional packages with:
cd /mnt/HD_a2
rsync -av inreto.de::dns323/fun-plug/0.5/packages .
cd packages
funpkg -i *.tgz
funpkg -i *.tgz
rm -r /mnt/HD_a/packages
into a shell script switch is excecuted by with a cronjob (i don't know if a cronjob is available in the funplug enviroment?!?) every week.
What do you think?

Don't do this.
First, you should know what is updated and why (i.e., read the Changelog). Second, see warning here: http://dns323.kood.org/howto:ffp#upgrading_packages Third, a new version of some package might require manual changes to config files. Fourth, updated servers need to be restarted.
Further, DONT RSYNC AND RM -RF. Use rsync --delete instead and keep the files. You're wasting bandwidth.
To upgrade packages, run "funpkg -u", not "-i". Also, your script doesn't detect obsolete packages.

Hi,
I am a little confused about updating the packages:
1. If I follow fonz's instructions on his web site:
...
Using rsync, you can download and install additional packages with:
telnet bob
cd /mnt/HD_a2
rsync -av inreto.de::dns323/fun-plug/0.5/packages .
cd packages
funpkg -i *.tgz
...
then I get en error massage that the directory "packages" does not exist (in fact, there is none). Needs a "mkdir packages" be inserted first before rsyncing?
2. As I understand funpkg -i only inserts new packages but does not update already installed packages.
Am I right, that -u inserts new packages AND updates already installed packages?
3. What's the difference between rsyncing and just downloading and updating/inserting the new package as described in [link]http://dns323.kood.org/howto:ffp#upgrading_packages [/link]
Fonz, could you please provide some more detailed instruction on your web site for upgrading or inserting packages. That would help Linux illiterates like me a lot....
Many thanks in advance and a big hand for your plugin!!
