Hi Michel.

Good work, this script is pretty cool!  One thing that might be nice to add
is an option to download new packages from the packages-X-stable
directory, if a newer version is found there.  I think you only ever look
in packages-X.Y-release at the moment, and those never change after the
release as far as I know.

Best regards,

	Scott
