=head1 NAME

B<CHECKRPMS> - automated status report about RPMs on a system

=head1 SYNOPSIS

./CHECKRPMS

or

perl CHECKRPMS

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This file automates the usage of Martin Siegert's "check-rpms"
script.  It runs through a list of possible mirror sites
until it finds one with a reasonably good FTP connection.

=head2 Future directions

Eventually, this script may have a simple argument format
that allows the user to VIEW, DOWNLOAD, or AUTOUPDATE their
computer.  Or, this script may evolve into an interactive
series of steps:  For example, there may be questions like this:

=over 4

=item *

Do you want to (D)ownload or (A)utoupdate the RPMs
in the list above?

=item *

Specify a download location for the RPMs
(default=/tmp/update_my_rpms/)?

=back

Note that there are no current plans to automate a software upgrade of the
kernel.  This step should be performed by a qualified system administrator.
