IMO, the UI should only list the package information and enable the
button to update the system. If it's interesting add the selection of
packages to be updated, we can do this later as an enhancement of this
feature.
If we just need update all packages, why should we list each package
version?
Normal flow is see which version a package is, then notice it does not
support a functionality and update it.
Also I assume we need to update 'kimchi' from web, then update single
package is also useful under this scenerio.
However, IMO this feature is not necessary. If you cant update the hole
software stack of your host system, do not use the package/software
update feature. If the distro is providing an update, that is because
the update is necessary to the system - generally security fixes. As a
good system administrator, you must keep your system updated as
possible.
