[MiNT] SpareMiNT automatic update script

[Martin Tarenskeen <m.tarenskeen@zonnet.nl>]

Hi,

I created a shell script for my own use that can do the following tricks 
for me:

1. It checks the SpareMiNT site for new or updated RPM packages.
2. It downloads new versions of packages that are installed on my system 
(optional). It can download both binary and source rpm's if I wish.
3. When starting from an old EasyMiNT installation the job can take 
quite some time on my modem and phoneline. But the script will hangup the 
modem for me automatically after all updated packages have been 
downloaded. If I start the script just before I go to sleep, I don't have 
to come out of my bed to hangup the modem connection :-) 
4. After downloading, the RPM packages are installed automatically 
(optional)

As I said, I wrote the script for my own use. But someone out there might 
like to try it, so I put it on my website:

After downloading the script, you may want to edit a few lines at the 
beginning of the script to suit your personal needs and taste, make it 
executable with "chmod 755 sparecheck", and put it somewhere in your 
$PATH. ( I suggest in /usr/bin/ ). Then, while you are online, run it from 
the commandline, and see what happens.
