updater
=======

This tool is a simple tool to provide rpm update services, similar
in spirit to Yum, but not based on python and striving to solve only
simple cases in embedded environments.

The tool uses Yum repositories, exploiting the same metadata format.

The cache directory must reside in a filesystem which is fnctl-lock capable.

The update can be restricted to a limited set of packages by listing the
package names in the command line, by default all packages available are
considered.

The program catches SIGHUP, SIGTERM and SIGINT and exits cleanly as soon
as possible.

Authentication is supported, when using non-encrypted channels credentials
are only sent for digest authentication on encrypted channels all
authentication types are enabled. A default username / password pair
is deduced from the EEPROM data and revision information on the device.

See COPYING for license information.
