pacman-notifier

DescriptionWritten in Ruby, uses Gtk. Shows an icon in the system tray and popup notifications (using libnotify) for new packages. Screenshots (using notify-osd, instead of standard notification-daemon) InstallationJust install from AUR yaourt -S pacman-notifierUsageRun: pacman-notifier ... [More] &(or add pacman-notifier to your autostart, for whatever window manager you're using) The first time it is ran, default settings will be written to ~/.pacman-notifier (this is a XAML file, so keep the formatting). You can change several variables there. pacman-notifier will check for updates periodically. You can force a check by left-clicking on the icon. Right clicking gives you the option to run the upgrade command (defined in the .pacman-notifier file), which by default opens a konsole and runs "sudo pacman -Su". ChangeLog0.6.2: Small fix for Ruby 1.9 0.6.1: Fixed to work with pacman 3.3 0.6: Fixed notifications so it can be used with notify-osd Removed traces of Qt interface (it will be completely Gtk based for the time) Added upgrade menu item and upgrade button on notification (won't appear if using notify-osd) No more blinking icon More efficient regular expression (previous versions could exhibit high cpu usage when checking updates because of this) Add check for locked database (assumes pacman lock file in default location) New SVG icons (blue for up-to-date, gray for busy, yellow for out-of-date) [Less]
