Tool to help with automatic updates
 
Here is some tooling to help those interested in automatically updating their system.

The tooling is in bash and is intended to be simple enough to customize to your preferences. The vanilla setup uses a cron script to pull updates from Slackware and slackbuilds.org (using sbotools), and uses a rc-script to install the updates on boot. Information on pending updates and errors are provided via text files under /var/spool/slack-autoupdate. More advanced users could use cron's integration with email to notify themselves that way.

The current implementation does not support slackware-current. For more information refer to the project's README.

Fixed, thanks for the notice :)

Documentation about how to add your own package source was added with an example for how to keep your kernel updated with Slackware Current while using the 15.0 release.

If there is any tooling you want supported, or issues prioritized, please reach out on this thread.
