True, but how do you easily determine which packages you have installed have been updated?
Maybe this is a package manager thing inside of Umbraco itself then... I have about 50 packages; so to make a pass to see what's been updated is pretty painful.
Maybe you can make a PR to for an updatechecker in the packages section, that would be cool.
In the future we want all packages to be NuGet packages and then this is no longer a problem. We have a few hurdles to take before we can get there though.
Yeah, the biggest challenge I've had with the number of packages is when one package includes other dlls (partial packages) or other nugget available files... and the placement of files different from where a nugget package puts them (font-awesome comes to mind).
its unfortunate but I also end up putting the dlls in version control just to make sure I can stay stable and revert should something go wrong.
FYI, here's the YouTrack ticket for the feature Sebastiaan described (i.e., show package updates in the package manager): http://issues.umbraco.org/issue/U4-8847
Package list on Our Umbraco
Not sure where this goes... but...
How about the Package List on Our Umbraco be sorted by updated date, rather than created date? It is a pain to see what is now.
How do I know it's sorted by created date? Well, I happened to catch some debug output today.. (not the order by)
Debugging output Query: { SearchIndexType: , LuceneQuery: +nodeTypeAlias:project +(+projectLive:1) } Order by: createDate[Type=LONG] Time elapsed: 2 Total results: 1074 Pages: 54
Simple reason for not doing that:
"Let's see.. how can we game the system: oh, I know, let's update my package every day so it's always at the top of the list!"
:-)

Yeah.. no answer for that one :-)
Also, you don't have to rely on debug data that I just turned off again, it's open source ;-)
