(Get the code!)
For an ubuntu package there is usually a changelog saying something like:
"
-fixed bug #23498428 , changed security algorithm form "a=b+c" to "a = b*c"
"
Seeing this changelog, one may choose the older version that they are sure works for their specific machine.
The"update-manager" does not support elementary updates CHANGES descriptions. Meaning one cannot see what was changed untill they visit the specific bugpage in a browser. This in turn takes some time - visiting every bugpage finding what the newstuff is, checking it (line by line) and then installing it.
Wouldn't it be easier to just have some changelog support that would make all of this procedure quicker, nicer, safer, since it would reduce the time needed to evaluate an update-change.
