GNOME updater

GNOME updater

[Ludovic Courtès]

I was distracted from important stuff and found myself writing a GNOME
updater, brought to you in commit e80c0f8.

Useful, and at the same time scary:

A for gnome-3, the 3.19 series AFAIK is the beta/development releases for
3.20, so would we want to update to those numbers? Also, if we don't want to
use those releases, we should check if the other packages also use the odd
(version minor-version) numbers as a symbol for beta/rc releases.

Good point, we probably don’t want those.

This is checked for GNU packages already, and I assume there’s no notion
of “unstable” releases on repos such as PyPI and CRAN?

Thanks for your feedback!

it might need a bit more work. For example, vte is at 0.40.0 and current
upstream is 0.43.0, but presumably there is a 0.42.x release in there
somewhere. Or at least for gnome-mines and -terminal, I'm sure there's a 3.18
release between our 3.16.x and upstream 3.19.x.

I tried a bit at the logic but wasn't able to quickly figure something out.
As a test at-spi2-atk in gtk.scm can be upgraded to 2.18.3.

Could this also be a problem for GNU packages? If we didn't update to the
latest release before they put out a new development version?

"developer" releases are sometimes uploaded to CPAN.  I'll try to 
address that in the cpan updater I'm working on.
