[ale] updater tool?

[James P. Kinney III]

That would be a nice tool, but it would be a huge project on the scale

all over webspace, the locate database would be a big mess.

Could it be done? Absolutely! The distributions already do it for you.
It could probably be done by trolling Freshmeat the easiest.
