Adept Updater Details

[adelie]

Hello,

I really like the adept updater and what it does. However, the one thing it doesn't seem to have, are any indication of why a package needs upgrading. For example, there was a notification this morning that a new 'tar' was available. I would like to know what had changed from the previous version. Is there a site, forum, or file that details why a package needs updating?

I haven't found a page with specific update info, but on http://packages.ubuntu.com you can search the package and view the changelog

For example:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/base/tar
changelog link at bottom of page;
http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changel...u0.3/changelog

There must be something with just security update info, I just haven't found it yet

Thanks.

That's clunky, but it's better than nothing.
