A very basic CLI app for checking updates from Arch User Repository (AUR).
$ aur-check-updates
:: Checking AUR updates...
foo 1.0 => 2.0
bar 1.0 => [not found in AUR]
The app is designed to perform only this simple task, so it does not build packages nor pull VCS updates.
If you need a fully-featured AUR helper, consider using paru instead.
$ aur-check-updates [<option>...]
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
--ignore <package> |
Do not check updates for a package.1 |
--ignoregroup <group> |
Do not check updates for packages in a group.1 |
--color <when> |
Specify when to enable coloring: always, never or auto.2 |
--timeout <ms> |
Set a timeout for network connection in milliseconds.3 |
-h, --help |
Display help message and exit. |
- Ignore options can be used more than once. Multiple packages/groups can be specified by separating them with a comma.
- Default value is
auto, it enables coloring only when tty is detected. - Default value is
5000.
$ aur-check-updates --ignore foo,bar --ignoregroup custom --color never --timeout 10000
Ignores foo and bar packages, ignores all packages in custom group, disables coloring, sets timeout to 10 seconds.
