Maybe it is a good idea to improve the output of build versions, now it shows
Code: 
Latest version of RoundCube webmail: 0.7.2
Installed version of RoundCube webmail: 0.7.2

Latest version of phpMyAdmin: 3.5.1-all-languages
Installed version of phpMyAdmin: 3.5.1-all-languages

Latest version of SquirrelMail: 1.4.22
Installed version of SquirrelMail: 1.4.22
If something is ready for an update you need to scroll to see if something is ready to update. Maybe it is a better idea to throw out a last line with the number of updates like this

1 update(s) found, run ./build update_versions to update

It is very easy to add this feature and helps a lot of administrators that manually need to check and update DA servers.

That works, but it would be more user friendly if the last line shows the available updates (or count).
 
It might be a bit user friendly, but how many users use this console option to check updates?
If you enable the crontab in options.conf you will get an email showing available updates (and versions) when present.

There are many solutions for that, you can use earlier commands to get the list plus the following one to get the "count":
Code: 
echo "(`./build versions | grep available | wc -l`) updates are available"

I don't use automatic updates, I like to do it manually, sometimes there are troubles with new updates so I always check the forum first.

I think you misunderstood me, I ment showing the updates at the last line of the ./build versions parameter (without anything extra). You're doing so much for the community, I really appreciate that. I am going to write a bash script with the samples you gave me.
