Description

Arch update status can be checked and sent as desktop notifications through a small Rust utility. upcheck is useful for users who want a lightweight pacman update indicator, including a user service option.

Notification checks are only advisory. Stale mirrors, partial upgrades, ignored packages, or AUR helpers outside pacman can make the result incomplete, and frequent checks may reveal package state through desktop notifications.
