Enables Pacman update monitoring via standalone script with no external dependencies.
- Modify
email.json
and specify all needed email settings - (Optional) Modify
repos.txt
to add extra repositories other than defaults - (Optional) If there is no
/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
file you can create amirror.txt
file in the script directory specifying the prefered repository mirror (probably will be changed at some point) - Use some task scheduler like Cron to automatically run the
update_monitor.py
script (i'd recommend once a day)
- Manually installed newer versions (via
pacman -U
) aren't detected properly if the version in question is not indexed in official mirrors.
