Removing updates

[gregb]

[quote="Sam"]Yes, but as I suggested, you'll have to create an admin service that accepts HTTP requests from the client machines, downloads the appropriate update file on your server, and then forwards that file to the client machine.[/quote]

Sorry maybe I left it out before but I actually wanted to store the client's updates on the server that way the server would have all the updates that client needs. I know that is possible due to the file:// location that you can pass in as a download site. My only problem with that is that I wanted to reduce the amount of updates the server had to keep hold of. So in this current version, due to your previous comments, that means there is no way to accomplish that?

So instead of the updates being hosted on a remote website or server, and the local server acting as a proxy for the client to get to those updates, I wanted to have the local server host the updates for the client. I was just trying to figure out a way to decrease the amount of updates the local server has to hold.

You could take hybrid approach. Include the latest patches with your server and then if one of the client computers requests an older patch, download it once and cache it, then transfer it to the client. Then subsequent requests for the old file will already be on the server computer.

So in this current version, due to your previous comments, that means there is no way to accomplish that?

No good way, not yet.

Do you have a timeframe around the expectancy of a stable 2.7?

We're pushing hard for the new date: end of April. We think we can make it with the features we have planned.

[gregb]

Ok thanks, I just wanted to ready to plan for it.

Is 2.7 ever coming out? I've been hoping to get incremental patches for a long time now.

[Wyatt]

Yes, it's coming out. It has been delayed (obviously) due to bug fixes (some nasty bugs) and behind the scene process fixes.
