install-new
by czezz from LinuxQuestions.org on (#53245)
I am updating my Slackware 14.2 to the latest patch level following this procedure: https://docs.slackware.com/howtos:slackware_admin:systemupgrade?s[]=upgrade

Question:
What is the real meaning and intention of install-new?
- It does install everything what is tagged in ChangeLog as "Added." - clear
- This command will not install any other packages which are not yet installed - not clear
Eg. my system has no gparted installed, nevertheless install-new will install gparted-0.25.0-x86_64-1.
It feels like rather skip install-new when updating system...
