So, to do this you'd need to keep track of the *previous* state of the comps and do (essentially) a diff. The metadata at the moment isn't set to store this information. Napkin-ing this, you'd compare it, see the new packages, and then pop up: New software available in the 'Games' group: GnomePoker - Play poker against your friends! Lose all your money! HackSlashKillMaim - Role play as your favorite serial killer [ Don't install ] [ Tell me more ] [ Ask me later ] [ Install new packages ] or something along those lines.
