Colin Rice Status Report #10 of #17

["Colin L. Rice" <ricec2 () rpi edu>]

Hello,

Accomplishments:
1) Rewrote the updater client to make more sense, use a manifest system
and fix numerous bugs with how it was set up before. It now makes no
special distinction for binaries, only downloads changed files, Deals
with multiple files with the same name properly, only updates what is
installed on your machine, only copies what has changed, and has a much
simpler option system.
2) Rewrote the server build script to use the new updater and fixed my
incorrect cron job. Now the server automatically builds nmap and then
repackages it into a form the client expects.
3) Worked with david to get my dual listening branch for ncat into a
decent shape with regards to merging. Waiting on his approval of the
final diff before merging.
4) Meeting with david

Goals
1) Merge the dual listening branch.
2) Make the updater store its downloads in a subdirectory. Right now its
a little ugly.
3) Test the updater a lot. Make sure the automated build system is
working.
