slackcurrent

Slackcurrent is an extremely useful software package that allows you to easily check for newer packages installed on your Slackware box. The software achieves this by retrieving a list of packages locally installed on your system and comparing it with the list of remote files available on a mirror site that you have selected from a list.

The slackcurrent script is the backbone of the entire operation. It monitors the status of the packages on the local system and if needed, updates the list of remote files available on the mirror site. After that, it does a comparison and identifies any older software versions. If you have any outdated packages on your system, Slackcurrent will promptly inform you.

Overall, Slackcurrent is an effective solution for anyone looking to easily manage updates on their Slackware system. The software is incredibly efficient and provides peace of mind by ensuring that you always have the latest versions of the packages installed. The automation capabilities of the software make it incredibly user-friendly and ensure that you can focus on more important tasks while your system receives the updates it requires.
