Bash script to check updates of Arch Linux packages given from arguments or stdin with no need to update the local repositories. Not installed and fake packages can also be checked.
By default, it doesn't look for updates in testing repositories, but you can do it using global variables as it is shown in the following section.
$ checkpkgs [package, ...] [options]
- Look for updates of given packages.
$ checkpkgs foo bar
- Look for updates of given packages with ordered output.
$ checkpkgs foo bar --ordered
- Look for updates of given packages from stdin.
$ cat ~/important-packages.log | checkpkgs
- Look for them also in Community-Testing, Multilib-Testing and Testing.
$ COMMUNITY_TESTING=1 MULTILIB_TESTING=1 TESTING=1 checkpkgs foo bar
You can install this package via the AUR.
