I suspect the easy availability of script(1) discouraged people
from expending any effort on it. I finally got tired of editing out
all the bogus newlines (^M) from script's output, so I wrote the
following wrapper for apt-get, which I have installed as
/usr/local/bin/upgrade:
#! /bin/bash
# A script to wrap `apt-get -dist-upgrade' to keep a log of upgrades
echo -e "\n\n `date`\n">>upgrade_log
apt-get -qu dist-upgrade 2>&1 |tee -a upgrade_log
exit 0
This contains several bashisms, so it shouldn't be run with
#!/bin/sh. You still have to stand by to answer apt's and debconf's
questions.
