Update mechanism = repositories

Hi,

Though I may be mistaken here, but doesnt the patent describe the
update mechanisms of linux/unix repositories(RPM,deb,etc)? I've done
some searching and many of the linux distributions have had package
management pre-1995. If all the Apple patent implies is to check, then
copy and install an updated version of a program automatically, this
has been done as far back (as I can tell) to 1993.

Would this not constitute prior art?

Of course, an alternative discussion is, can the W3C not implement a
different system? Say: Widgets are locally cached versions of online
host systems?

It would good to have a discussion board available for this, so people
can interact and pool resource. I believe the HTML5 is a must for the
future of the web.I hope I can assist more somehow.
