I fully agree with this and if you use the simple bash script I wrote which
is linked in the FAQ #42 @ http://www.atozcomp.com/slapt_update you will
notice that all it does is compare the current changelog with the last
version of the changelog you downloaded. If they are different, it will
email you a notification that new packages are available (along with the new
changelog entries) and it will optionally download the new packages for you
automatically. However, it *will not install them*, you still need to run
'slapt-get --upgrade' manually.
