Thanks! Starts looking really interesting. I haven't had a look at the
script for now, only the results.
A few comments:
* For util-linux, current version is 2.23.2, and your script believes
2.23 is more recent.
* For bash, current version is 4.2, and your script believes version
3.2 is more recent.
* There seems to be an issue with libjpeg version detection.
* The latest version detected for aumix is 2, while it should be 2.9.1.
* One funny case: the latest version detected for tstools is
"WindowsXP" :-)
* There are several more problematic cases, but I guess many of them
have the same cause.
Also, it would be nice if you could order the list of packages
alphabetically.
Keep up the good work!
Thanks,
Thomas
