upcheck.sh

Summary

This script can be used to check your repository against AUR for updates.
I'm using it with Archup to periodically check my repository.

Main

Warranty

There is no warranty that this setup works for any system which provide the dependencies listed below.
I'm just providing these information because it worked for me.
If you have questions you can leave a message here but I decide whether I'll answer and help or not.

Security - Connection

Security issue

If you use the described setup you'll copy files using an unencrypted connection.
That is why it is possible to sniff data about you, your systems and your infrastructure.
You should only use it within a secure network and only if you trust everybody who is using it.

Dependencies:

an Arch Linux ;)
core/pacman
core/bash
andrwe/slurpy (or AUR)

Version History:

0.3:

added blacklist functionality
skip packages without a version on AUR

0.2.5:

fixed alphanumerical versions doesn't cause script errors
added support for a list of repositories

0.2:

doesn't show packages with newer version in repo than in AUR (only numerical like 0.4-2)
fixed returning more than one version number for one package

0.1:

checks defined repository against AUR using slurpy for updates
skip Version Control System based packages
prints a list of out-of-date packages
