I was thinking about how nice it is to update apple software using
Software Update, and I was thinking about implementing a similar system.
Other developers would put a plugin or something into the Up2Date
folder, and this would contain the URL to an XML file, which would allow
the program to check to see if the latest software is new than the
user's version. Then, it would download from the address in the XML file.
This would be 100% open source, free of charge, probably distributed
under the GPL. While the system would be free, any software using it for
update services could be commercial or closed-source.
Just wondering if anyone would use this in their software.
