But it would have to be an opt-in minor-mode. I believe it would not be nice for Emacs to silently "call home" without the user requesting. 2015-11-29 3:37 GMT+00:00 David Reitter : > Feature request from a user: > > Can we automatically show a note (in the echo area) to notify the user when a Packages (ELPA/MELPA etc) package is installed, but a newer version is available?
