Just a thought, not sure if it's a good or bad idea.

Try to auto-update patch levels (or even minor versions?). Send notification about update availability, execute update, send notification about success/failure.

Pros:

  • less manual interaction if updates are available
  • registering hooks to call update-scripts, located next to the installed software

Cons:

  • Cannot rely on SemVer. Software could also introduce breaking changes in patch-levels.
  • Other software doesn't follow Semver.
  • Danger of breaking something is high.
