upgraded to current packages as soon they came out, no problem at all.

Slackupdate.sh is good. It also comes as a package:
slackupdate-0.7.0-noarch-1.tgz

I run it as user :$ slackupdate.sh and it download all update to:
/tmp/slackupdate You can also run:

$ slackupdate.sh -u slackware-current

And it will download current and do a full check:
Using GPG to verify files. It just does a nice job.

When you go with current make note: It will tell you in what order you
should do your #upgradepkg in. Me, I'll just wait on Slackware 11 !!!

Have fun.

phrag from ##slackware on freenode's slackmon script works fine for
upgrading to -current for me.

Taken from the -current changelog:

---
Mon Feb 14 10:31:43 PST 2005
Upgraded to X11R6.8.2 (these new -current X11 packages will also work just
fine
on Slackware 10.1 since no libraries have changed since the 10.1 release)
