I use apticron (http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/apticron).
I see one of its dependencies is apt-listchanges.
Its web page (http://packages.debian.org/sid/apt-listchanges) mentions
"When configured as an APT plugin" but I web-surfing doesn't tell me if
this is done on installation.
I'd like synaptic to present me with a window with the packages in bold
followed by a paragraph about the changes between the new version and
the one I have installed.
A note indicating what new packages it requires over the previous
version (or no longer requires) would be useful too.
I'm hoping a package (or package configuration) does this already,
otherwise it's a feature request on Synaptic.
It runs a daily cronjob that does a apt-get update and then emails you
if there are any upgrades available. The email includes the recent
changeling entries.

Hi there.
My current work-flow of running synaptic, reloading, marking
upgrades, viewing history, cherry-picking updates I'm interested in
and viewing the changelogs for each, (or if they fail to download,
"gunzip -c xyz/changelog.Debian.gz | less) sucks.
Is there an updates list I can subscribe to so that the updates,
complete with the changelog entry for the updates, get mailed to me
when they're available.
I realise it's going to depend on their availability on my local
mirror, so as an alternative, could it be bundled with the update, or
available in semantic along side the history entries.
I'm just brainstorming here - feedback welcome.
Is there a package that does this already?
