 ## Updating the package
 
-To update the package the first you need to do is to set up your build environment. After that there are two ways: an automated way (which is highly preferred) and a manual way.
+Since I automated the updating process quite a bit using the `update-new-version.sh` as well as preparations on my local system I no longer accept merge requests for updating the package to a new version. Processing them would take me much more time than doing the update myself.
+
+In case I'm late for an update (over 1-2 weeks), feel free to create an issue [on GitLab](https://gitlab.com/mmk2410/intellij-idea-community). I'm also working on a fully automated system for updating the packages but this will still take a while.
