Sounds like in your setup you would like to keep a profile of the client on the server, so you don't have to send over that information, because it is already in the DBMS. That also allows you to update 'push-driven', because the server can easily tell which clients have packages that are out of date. -- Fabian Groffen -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
