+Introduction

+
+!Vaca is kind of a poor man's clone of apt-get for Windows.

 It aims to make installing and, more importantly, keeping your programs up to date without you having to keep going to web sites of countless projects and manually update every little utility that you use.

-Vaca uses RSS to list releases of software packages so you should be able to subscribe to a program's blog or news page and get updates automatically.

+!Vaca does not in any way want to be an installation system like Inno Setup, it will only download files and call them if necessary.

+This is not meant as an "your updater sucks!" project for Firefox and other projects which ship their own installer. It is simply a result of my frustration with the poor state of windows installers when coming from Linux.

-The source code is available under the Apache License version 2.0 or later.
+I just can't believe that something like !Vaca has not been done yet, a simple to tool to keep all your packages up to date without getting in your way and forcing developers to write the same freaking update code over, and over, and over, and over.
+
+It is also an attempt to bring consistency to the process of updating your windows applications, why should you have to learn a new interface for each programs update function - on Linux you click two buttons and _ALL_ the packages on your system are up to date.


-You can browse the source code using [bzrweb][2], or you can just branch it directly from [http://halfdans.net/bzr/vaca/trunk/][3].
