Triskel has no update notifier

Hello everyone,

I'd like to ask the reasoning why Triskel has no update notifier of any kind installed by default? I've been testing Triskel 10 and I thought maybe this was an unintentional omission. I decided to fire up a VM of Triskel 9.01 to see what it was using, and to my surprise, there wasn't a notifier on that version either. Personally, I have no problem opening a terminal (I have an alias in place so I can just type 'update' to perform an update and upgrade). However, this keeps me from being able to install it on relatives computers that do not have a lot of computer know-how. Before long, they would be left with unpatched systems, unless I want to go over to their house to perform updates, or remote in to do likewise. I certainly wouldn't have them open a terminal.

It seems it wouldn't take much to have Discover installed by default (which includes a notifier). Manually installing it is proving difficult, because it will not work properly (the software store is blank, except for the applications that are already installed). There is some configuration issue that I am unable to resolve, that I am sure the developers of Triskel should be apt in doing.

Thanks for your consideration.
