Well, I know I'm asking for a few flames here, but, this idea just popped into my head and I cannot get rid of it.
When you sync and update a system that has not been updated for a while, you get many packages to upgrade. OK usually not a problem. However, myself (and many other folks) are rather lazy: we do not watch the terminal session for hours, looking for those tidbits of info of little pesky admin things to do upon updating a package (let alone dozens of packages). We are also lazy: we do not parse the log files looking for those 'little pesky admin things to do upon updating a package' either. Much pain results for lots of regular folks, like forgetting to run 'python-updater'. So any ideas on an enhancement/fix? Why, could the dev add an option that parses out all of those pesky admin things into either a singular log file? Or better yet, a gui popup that lists just those instructions for each package. Then a lazy admin could go through them, take whatever action necessary, and then just kill the pop-up. Just a thought, I figured I'd put up here for discussion. In fact some of the younger/sharper minds should come up with an even slicker way for those instructions to hang around, so that us lazy admins are forced into a convenient click or 2 to dismiss these little pesky admin caveats....? thoughts?
