[aur-general] aur-out-of-date: determine out-of-date AUR packages w.r.t. upstream

[Michael Kogan]

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!
