Hi, a gui residing in the system tray is on my todolist as well and have been
playing with a prototype here..
I would prefer to continue to use python as the development platform, but would
appreciate if you could provide a "mockup" or some ideas on how it should work.
The query command will definately be implemented.

I have written a GUI client, created in Freepascal/Lazarus. It displays a list
of packages to be added/removed/upgraded by reading the XML files directly, and
can trigger execution of either wpkg-gp or the classic WPKG client.
The list of actions to be performed is not as accurate as running wpkg.js,
since installation status checks are not run, but it is a hell of a lot
quicker, and is good enough for my purposes.

You might run WPKG in dryrun mode to fetch the changes which would be performed
if you run it in normal mode. Then show the changes (parse the output) to the
user so he could decide whether he wants to trigger the update or not.

Hi,
As Rainer has popped in to comment, I thought I'd mention a slightly more general idea that might be something that WPKG itself could absorb and offer to WPKG-GP, WPKGExpress etc. Roughly speaking, it would useful if WPKG could generate a simple machine readable summary of package status rather than have people parse the query/dryrun data or wade through log files. Maybe something simple like a CSV file report?
It could be as simple as;
"<packagename>", <boolean/0/1 isinstalled>
or
"<packagename>",<boolean/0/1 isinstalled>, <last-error-code>
etc
I hope the pseudo notation makes sense...
Something like that opens up avenues for people write simple reporting systems for the status of each computer they use WPKG on.
