+Maintaining an updated chrome browser on Slackware is now made
+easier with this small program, "google-chrome-the-latest".
+It is a simple python script that checks what is the latest
+version available and updates it on your Slackware box.
+
+It does this by parsing the web-page at
+https://www.whatismybrowser.com/guides/the-latest-version/chrome
+and comparing with the chrome version currently installed.
+
+Chrome is downloaded directly from Google and converted to txz
+using the standard rpm2txz command.
+
+You can run this script manually or automatically with the
+provided cron.hourly script.
+This cron script will attempt to identify which user to notify,
+otherwise you can force the variable to USERNAME=’your username’
+
+Normally it is asked if you want to install new version, but
+providing the argument "silent" will just update with no
+human intervention.
+
+This package installs to /opt/google-chrome-the-latest
