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?
