I have made a client program that authenticates to a server using http and
gets from this server a swup.conf file and a list of additional rpms to
install. The client program starts swup with this swup.conf file and makes
an upgrade and starts then swup again and installs the additional rpms.

Do you think it is easy to do it with apt, or are there some pitfalls?
