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.

@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
