ArchScan

This program is written with the intentions of providing information whether a package you have installed shows up in the "Pacman & Package Upgrade Issues" thread on the Arch Forums. Only the most recent posts are checked! (May change)

Using

For right now, this only works when you run it, I will eventually implement either a cron instance or systemd support.

Please do not rely on this for production environments, it still has false flags for the comparing parts which still need to be worked on.

Roadmap

  • - Enable notification support
  • - Show issues resolved, unresolved, and ones that matched installed packages
  • - Tidying up and splitting the files up as needed
  • - Add unit tests
  • - Enable a cron/init task that checks for you
  • - Add a CLI interface that shows more details
  • - Other Package Managers?
