Re: [aur-general] aur-out-of-date: determine out-of-date AUR packages w.r.t. upstream
Neat program! It currently doesn't handle release candidate version tags. For example, $ aur-out-of-date -pkg influxdb [OUT-OF-DATE] [influxdb] Package influxdb should be updated from 1.4.3-1 to 1.5.0rc4 It might be worth adding an option to ignore version tags that end in 'rc*'. Or perhaps make that the default and add a flag to *not* ignore release candidate tags. I'm sure there are other conventions for post-fixes on version tags that indicate pre release or testing status. Maybe a more flexible way to go would be to offer an environment variable or option for setting a list of regexes to disregard if matched. Thanks! Adam Levy
