Thank You. At some time I've subscribed to the arch linux update feed, but it doesn't seem very useful, so I'll remove it: 1. It seems not all updates are reported 2.

This announcement was posted on the Arch Linux news site:

https://www.archlinux.org/news/

Also available as a RSS feed: https://www.archlinux.org/feeds/news/ And mirrored to a mailing list: https://lists.archlinux.org//listinfo/arch-announce

Thank You :) I wanted to do sth. similar as the Gnome tool in Java, so I tried the RSS variant, but it doesn't seem to be reliable. I'm using XFCE, so I wanted to have some tool in a language I'm using for software development, but it seems not possible, yet. So, of course, I'll have to do my daily updates using pacman (well, I'd just used my Java GUI to start pacman, but without having a good tracking of available updates, that's useless overhead).

You almost never get any mail (which I love). It's actually a copy of everything which will be shown on the arch website frontpage. Since I never had any trouble with updates besides those mentioned on this page, it perfectly fits my requirements. Of course you may still run into AUR trouble... but that's kinda another story.

With respect to update information: just run a full update on a daily basis. That's what I am doing. Pacman informs me. For gnome there is a neat tool: Arch Linux Update Indicator. It hides the icon if there are no updates. I used to use Kalu (which may be helpful on KDE). Works fine as well but shows the icon all the time. Actually such tools are unnecessary since there is an update available each day for my system. Even if you go for a weekly check, it is not waste of time.

So, if I understood your question correct: use pacman + Arch Announcement mailing list.
