OK, I've started playing with the idea of writing a web front-end to apt-get and got stuck at the first hurdle...
Ideally I want to mimic the action of update-manager, ie get a list of updates, display the list (ideally with some details of each update), provide checkboxes to select required updates, and provide a mechanism to install the selected updates.
How do I generate a machine friendly list of available updates?
apt-get --print-uris -y -qq upgrade
?
