Update packages?

[xXziroXx]

I'm having problems making a package "popup" asking if it should be downloaded or not. I've experimented with ALL settings for the past hour, yet I can't make it work.

I've tried setting it to optional and popupforoptionalpackages to false/true. I've tried changing ALL settings. And yes, I know how they work - I've used them since they first came out.

But.. I can NOT make an optional download popup, no matter how I try. So could anyone who KNOWS EXACTLY how to do it please post an example? Because I don't want a music package to be required, and if I make it optional a lot of people won't know how to download it, so I want a popup.

Cheers in advance.

There is no popup thing right now, it was planned though. You can however script it yourself, something like this (calling update() is downloading it):

PHP Code:

printPackage(getBasePackage());

function printPackage(package) {
  echo("package: " @ package.filename @ " - " @ package.name);
  if (package.filename=="mymusic.gupd" &&
      package.localversion<package.version)
    package.update();

  for (temp.subpackage: package.packages)
    printPackage(temp.subpackage);
}

    printPackage(temp.subpackage);
}

I think you have to have like a main.gupd or something.

Stefan, seeing as thought you said that it was planned to add a popup thing - has it been added? If not, will it ever be?
