This is a simple checker for Arch Linux Packages' updates. This was developed for learning purposes and could be done with any scripting language, such as PHP or Python.
- Run
go build .
to generate the executable for your system. - Then, you can run the executable, informing the packages you want to know about. Example:
./arch-packages go
./arch-packages php gnome
./arch-packages python node openjdk
TIP: You may move the binary to something like
/usr/bin
, so it will be available system-wide.
