pup use cases...

[Chris McDonough <chrism plope com>]

Hi all,

I'm taking a look at the ""pup storyboard" from a checkout of Paul
Nasrat's pup package.

The storyboard seems to indicate that the most compelling use case is
the one currently fulfilled by up2date/rhn-applet, where a user is
notified that an update is available for software that he or she already
has installed, and allows them to install the updates in a 'batch'.

I am wondering if anyone has an idea of whether it's within pup's
current presumed scope to also allow users to manage the process of
graphically adding new software and removing installed software on an
ad-hoc basis (e.g. Synaptic).

Any pointers to existing conversations about this are welcome too.
