package updates in Slackware and CLI tool for monitoring upgraded packages.
.. image:: https://gitlab.com/dslackw/images/raw/master/sun/sun.png
:target: https://gitlab.com/dslackw/sun
How works
---------
SUN compares the two dates of ChangeLog.txt files on the server and locally by counting
how many packages have been upgraded, rebuilt or added etc.
SUN works with `slackpkg <http://www.slackpkg.org/>`_ as well as with others tools and repositories.
Probably, you can use the SUN with other's Slackware based Linux distributions as well.
