Is there a way to get notified, when an #ArchLinux package is updated?

Sometimes I'm eagerly awaiting an upgrade to a specific package. Is there a way to get a notification of some sort, once the update is available?

In this case I'm waiting for thunderbird and wine-nine.

Not sure if you could do this by polling repo with RSS reader with specific parameters. I don't know how but quick googling around that has been suggested previously.

You could keep an eye on the PKGBUILDs. For Thunderbirds, for example, you could use the following in a RSS reader:

I check every day with pacman -S thunderbird

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using an URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]
