When using the CentOS binary repo as recommended, the software should 
auto-update during normal system update procedures.

For source releases (Debian), you're more or less on your own. Updating 
is still easy - just go through the initial installation again, minus 
registration.

What's not easy (for me, at least) is to find out when a new software 
probe version has been made available. Releases aren't being tagged on 
the repo, and the version tags seem inconsistent? The current history 
shows 5081 at the top, and then 5082, 5083, 5080?

The version I last checked out apparently was 5080, but I have no idea 
if I should now try to update or not. Having some kind of announcement 
would be great.

Alex.
