Hi, Nice app. It's very useful. But one question, will eget handle updates of downloaded binaries?

zyedidia commented 2 years ago

Eget currently doesn’t track where binaries were downloaded from after the fact, so it can’t automatically update them. By default though eget downloads the latest release so if you rerun the download it may update if there is a new release.

See #14 and the new --upgrade-only flag, which approximates this in a useful way using the release creation date and the file modification date for the local file.
