Alternative update approach to slackpkg - request for testing/feedback

I've been revising/polishing a couple of scripts I use to keep my slackware system updated and I think they're about ready for a wider audience now.

The README pretty much explains what and how they work, so I'll not repeat it here, but to pique folks' interest, they
  • are non-interactive.
  • do not use/store any metadata or database, outside of those pkgtools already use.
  • support multiple package sources, specified via a simple config file: which is just an ordered list of directories/URLS.
  • support local and remote package sources, which may be mixed.
  • will gpg verify if requested.
  • has a blacklist feature
  • has a per-package post-install-script feature.
So, if any of that sounds appealing then please point your browsers at my github repo and see if you want to give them a try.

I'm open to questions if anyone has any, and feedback is welcome.
