trunk/Makefile: missing update target

[GoogleCodeExporter]

there is there are various console based tools that are currently bundled ,
or will one day be bundled, with CRUSTY (snownews, w3m, mc, etc) 

but why do that? it would be better to hook into,say, the debian package
management system and download/make the latest versions of these tools as
they are developed?

see, if that was done, the CRUSTY's makefile could contain an update target
that auto updates the everything.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by hook into the debian package 
management
system.  Do you intend to get the source packages and unpack them and build?  
Or do
you intend to use apt and assume that the person has root access through 
something
like sudo?

For this issue, it sounds like we should to generalize the crusty install 
script by
using apt-get, apt-install, apt-update which should be standard debian package 
tools.
This would ensure that we're getting the latest versions of the packages 
straight
from the source.

I believe you mean, "apt-get {update,install,remove,upgrade}"

Either way, I don't think that it will work.  On dream host I don't believe we 
have
root access, so apt and friends can't help us.
