Project: Amend Description: A simple system package update checker. Author: John Walsh Maintainer: John Walsh Copyright (C) 2015, John Walsh, all rights reserved. Created: Dec 27 2015 https://sourceforge.net/projects/amend/ 'amend' to change for the better; improve. to remove or correct faults in; rectify. to grow or become better by reforming oneself. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Technical Info: the main script is written in python, for version 2 and 3 python 3 - requires: gtk3 python 2 - requires: pygtk2 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Help Needed: How to properly install icons in /usr/share/icons ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Change log: Version: 1.1.0 - 01/03/16 added check to stop multiple instances running added yaourt/AUR support ---- Version: 1.0.0 - 30/12/15 first release: works with: rpm/yum rpm/dnf pacman yaourt and GUI updater: yumex gpk-update-viewer octopi ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Keep your Linux system up to date. This script will check for available package updates and show a tray icon and notification pop-up when updates are available. Clicking on the icon with launch the package manager/updater GUI. This is intended for desktop environments like RHEL7/XFCE that don't have a native package update checker. Or if you want a light-weight system tray app that only shows when updates are available (ie. a replacement for octopi-notifier). Amend auto-detects and works with: yum dnf pacman yaourt yumex gpk-update-viewer octopi NB. pacman based systems: Amend does not update the system/package database. That is left up to the user to decide when/if to do that. It could be done weekly by: # pacman -Sy # pacman -Syu $ yaourt -Syu --devel --aur See amend.py for user configuration options. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Installing: Download all the project files into your own 'amend' directory.
