This is my first experience on rpa's autoupdate feature.

Self-upgrade isn't atomic yet, but nobody has complained about that
so it must not be that important (in fact nobody seems to care about
atomicity at all .

Thank you Mauricio (aka batsman).

My case-sensitive eyes appreciate ;-)

Is 14 days OK, or maybe too short? I could also make it 'added/updated

atomicity at all .

Thats because the atomicity has prevented problems that would have been
caused otherwise. If you use FreeBSD ports, you will know what I mean
when during post-install scripts just screw up because of a software bug
from the packaged softwre. Atomicity is important

Nobody cares until they hit the interrupt key and have to go clean up.

Atomicity is a good thing, but if it works, nobody notices.

I'd love it if it was since last update. I'd rather see too much
information than have the sense that I missed something.
