The tech side of the question has already been covered. I'd just want
to point out that, with arch, automatic updates are *bad*. You should
always check in real time the package manager messages: pac{save,new}
files can be a real problem, especially if you're running a server.
Update notification is fine for me. You could take a look at
alunn/alunnd... I don't think it's network-enabled, but it's a good
starting point to hack up a solution.
