Slackcurrent is a tool that checks if there are newer versions of packages installed on Slackware boxes available on a mirror site. It determines which packages are installed locally, updates the list of remote files available on the mirror site, compares them, and reports on updates.

Changes:
The version tokens were expanded to 4 tokens to solve problems with (official) packages with unwieldy names. When asked to create the upgrade list, Slackcurrent now tells you about some packages (local and remote) that will not be handled because of their name formats. It may be that the names are ok and you just found another bug, but there are some packages that really don't follow the package name conventions. You'll need to download and upgrade those packages manually.
