Hi,

today I updated from core 94 to 95. No problems so far, but I noticed some things that probably could be improved.


    ipfire:~# pakfire upgrade
    CORE UPGR: Upgrading from release 94 to 95
    meta-core-upgrade... 100.00% |=============================>|   341.00 B
    core-upgrade-2.17... 100.00% |=============================>|   38.04 MB
    PAKFIRE UPGR: core-upgrade-95: Decrypting...
    PAKFIRE UPGR: core-upgrade-95: Upgrading files and running post-upgrading scripts...

--> Would be nice to have a "--verbose" param to get
the output of "/var/log/pakfire/update-core-upgrade-95.log"
at this time. Otherwise there is not much output and
especially on slow machines the user gets nervous what is happening.


    PAKFIRE UPGR: core-upgrade-95: Finished.

    Core-Update 2.17
    Release: 94 -> 95

    Update: linux-pae
    Version: 0 -> 3.14.57
    Release: 0 -> 64

--> Should the previous version/release really be 0?


    PAKFIRE RESV: linux-pae: Resolving dependencies...

    PAKFIRE UPGR: We are going to install all packages listed above.
    PAKFIRE INFO: Is this okay? [y/N]

--> Shouldn't the default be Yes?


    y
    linux-pae-3.14.57... 100.00% |=============================>|   25.39 MB
    PAKFIRE UPGR: linux-pae: Decrypting...
    PAKFIRE UPGR: linux-pae: Upgrading files and running post-upgrading scripts...
    PAKFIRE UPGR: linux-pae: Finished.

--> Same as above with "--verbose", here for "/var/log/pakfire/update-linux-pae.log"


>From update-linux-pae.log:
    *** Installing kernel module dependencies and firmware ***
    *** Installing kernel module dependencies and firmware done ***
    *** Resolving executable dependencies ***
    *** Resolving executable dependencies done***
    Could not find 'strip'. Not stripping the initramfs.
    *** Store current command line parameters ***
    *** Creating image file ***
    *** Creating image file done ***

--> Should "strip" exist and is it needed?
