Very nice and useful! It works for me, though just a few of my PKGBUILDs are displaying status information. I am wondering, what about PKGBUILDs whose source is hosted at Launchpad or Sourceforge? Those are quite common hosters, are there plans to add them? Thanks! 2018-02-01 17:08 GMT+01:00 Simon Legner via aur-general < aur-general@archlinux.org>:
Hi aur-general,
as a maintainer of fifty-something AUR packages I found it difficult to keep track of new upstream versions. I would subscribe to various RSS feeds to keep track of some.
Recently, I sat down and wrote a tool "aur-out-of-date" which, given a username or a list of packages, checks upstream for newer versions. It does so by inspecting the upstream URL and/or source URL, and calling a suitable API (github.com, registry.npmjs.org, pypi.python.org, cpan.org for now) to determine the latest released version. Out-of-date packages are output in red color on the command line.
Give it a try: https://github.com/simon04/aur-out-of-date https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/aur-out-of-date/
I'm happy to hear you feedback :) Simon
