<code>slackpkg install-new</code> installs NEW packages marked with "Added" in ChangeLog.txt, so it only suitable to 1) upgrade between releases (for ex. 14.1 to 14.2) or to 2) update current.

| Yes, since 8.1 (first release with versioned packages) it was only tree times by two reasons:<code> |
| 9.1: patches/packages/kernel-headers-2.4.24-i386-1.tgz: Added. |
| |
| 13.1: patches/packages/libyaml-0.1.4-i486-1_slack13.1.txz: Added. |
| 13.37: patches/packages/libyaml-0.1.4-i486-1_slack13.37.txz: Added. |
| </code> |
| Readind ChangeLog.txt can help to discover this rare case and launch ''slackpkg install libyaml'' if needed. But if skip some series on install she will be prompted to install NEW (Added) package on //every// ''slackpkg install-new'' run (yes, blacklist can help and partial install is not supported :) ).\\ |
