This is simpler then you show here. You can get the last update time from the modified header from the repository:
$ telnet mirror.linux.duke.edu 80 HEAD http://mirror.linux.duke.edu/pub/fedora/linux/core/1/i386/os/headers/header.info HTTP/1.1 ^D
wget will return the header, but will also download the entire file...
OK, you convinced me. :-) I'm going to work on this in my spare time... I'm just not sure how much of that I have right now....
But, it's definately a "pet project" I'm interested in. (And I do have the general experience to analyze, design, implement, debug, etc)
So, I just have a bit of reading to do to see HOW to do what I WANT... that is is I know WHAT needs doing, I'm just fuzzy on the "HOW"... and that's a nit, isn't it? ;-)
Thanks, Don
HOW, WHAT, WANT......
Here is another hint. use http://www.fedoratracker.org/ to find out were the repositories are located
