To keep packages up-to-date, pkgupdates automates a GET request to the upstream url, matching the version regex given a valid response, and comparing the upstream version to the ArchStrike repository.
git clone git@github.com:ArchStrike/archversion-envconfig-git.git
cd archversion-envconfig-git/
alias build='arch-nspawn ${CHROOT}/root pacman -Syu; makechrootpkg -c -r ${CHROOT} -- -i'
build
sudo pacman -U archversion-envconfig-git-*-any.pkg.tar.zst
sudo pacman -S curl git pacman sqlite tar python-gitpython python-systemdBy installing archversion-envconfig-git, the dependency pyalpm is satisfied for bin/pkgupdates-maintenace.
The file archversion.conf defines a upstream URL, version regex, and a Python expression for each package. The file develversion.conf defines the vcs package list. After updating archversion.conf or develversion.conf for a package, verify your changes work as expected.
pkgupdates-sync -cdn +pkgname
For pkgupdates-sync, the -x option will display more examples of how to do custom version checks. The script bin/cron-pkgupdates will function better as a cron job than the underlying pkgupdates.
The pkgupdates script calls both pkgupdates-sync and pkgupdates-maintenance. To bucket missing packages by URL response code, run pkgupdates-maintenance --resolve.
