Is there a way to get notified, when an #ArchLinux package is updated?
Sometimes I’m eagerly awaiting an upgrade to a specific package. Is there a way to get a notification of some sort, once the update is available?
In this case I’m waiting for thunderbird and wine-nine.

Not sure if you could do this by polling repo with RSS reader with specific parameters. I don’t know how but quick googling around that has been suggested previously.

@fell @archlinux@lemmy.ml @archlinux@lemmy.world @archlinux@discuss.tchncs.de @archlinux@kbin.social @archlinux@a.gup.pe you need something to call checkupdates | grep package every some time, i put it into my #fish shell greeting so everytime i open a shell i see how many packages i have to install
The code is
echo ‘Searching for updates…’
echo “Updates found:” $(checkupdates | wc -l)This code should run over bash too
Hi there! The links in your response are not clickable for Lemmy users, here are the clickable versions: !archlinux@lemmy.ml, !archlinux@lemmy.world, !archlinux@discuss.tchncs.de
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using an URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !archlinux@lemmy.ml, !archlinux@lemmy.world, !archlinux@discuss.tchncs.de
@fell @archlinux@lemmy.ml @archlinux@lemmy.world @archlinux@discuss.tchncs.de @archlinux@kbin.social @archlinux@a.gup.pe there’s checkupdates that does that for all the packages, this case requires a custom script imho

@fell @archlinux@lemmy.ml @archlinux@lemmy.world @archlinux@discuss.tchncs.de @archlinux@kbin.social @archlinux@a.gup.pe you’d need to use a temporary database, keep doing pacman -Sy then pacman -Si package | grep version
All by memory may be wrong

You could keep an eye on the PKGBUILDs. For Thunderbirds, for example, you could use the following in a RSS reader:
https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/thunderbird/-/commits/main/PKGBUILD
I check every day with
pacman -S thunderbird
