web-based remote package management

Status: Pending

Short Description:
When you have lots of systems with package management, it would be nice to
automate and provide a nice single UI for security audits and upgrades.

Full Description:
A web service that lets you enter in various servers or systems you manage that
have package management systems. You enter SSH information and the type of
system and it will let you manage your packages from a web interface.

Most importantly, it will automatically, while keeping you in the loop, update
your package repository, check for updates, and if allowed, automatically keep
packages up to date. If not allowed, it will give you a report and let you
easily choose what to upgrade.

For complex source-based package/port systems, it will let you step in to fix
errors, but should somehow keep track of what you do so that it can suggest it
to others that run into a similar situation.
