You need to call the script with a date with a date as an argument with
format YYYYMMDD, e.g.:
./get-new.sh 20170201
to get the new packages from Feb 1 of this year.
It assumes that you have a line in your /etc/apt/sources.list with the
'unstable' suite (not sid). It will also fail if one of the files
created by the script already exists in the current directory:
all both old new list Package
The result is in the 'list' file, which contains 1032 entries for the
previous invocation.
