- Upgrade notifier tray icon
- --------------------------
-
- This is a small tray icon that backgrounds itself and checks for
- upgrades. It must be ensured by other means (like a cron job) that a
- regular "apt-get update" is done. This is ensured by installing a
- option into /etc/apt/apt.conf.d to trigger a cron update script. It
- uses FAM to monitor /var/lib/apt/lists/* and
- /var/lib/update-notifier/dpkg-run-stamp. If they change it updates
- it's status.
-
- Needs libgnomeui2.0-dev and libhal-dev to build and gksu to run.
-
- It also supports interactive hooks and reboot notification support,
- see HOOKS for details.
-
- It will detect if a new distribution CD is inserted and supports addon
- CDs.
-
- Additionally it has grown avahi and crash report collection
- support. Both very ubuntu specific.
-
- Based on ideas of Matt Zimmerman und Jeff Waught. Tray example from
- Lukas Lipka <lukas@pmad.net>. Lot's of cleanups from Michiel Sikkes.
- Thanks!
