@AlexTalker This package is no longer maintained, use aarchup instead.

Hey
Can smb update it and add package()?
Else my `aura` and makepkg too get error:
Missing package() function in /var/cache/pacman/pkg/archup3653/archup/PKGBUILD

This should depend on 'gtk2'

I get this error:

archup.c:201:3: error: too many arguments to function ‘notify_notification_new’
/usr/include/libnotify/notification.h:114:21: note: declared here
make: *** [archup-bin] Error 1

Libnotify has been updated, and I wrote a little patch to fix that which I attached here: https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?34871

any idea why it does not build here, when I issue the command make it gives:
gcc -g -O2 -Wall -DVERSION=\"@VERSION@\" `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0` archup.c -o archup -lnotify
archup.c: In function ‘main’:
archup.c:201:3: error: too many arguments to function ‘notify_notification_new’
/usr/include/libnotify/notification.h:114:21: note: declared here
make: *** [archup-bin] Error 1

Hi,
I didn't work any further on this project and I don't plan to in future, thus you can see it as abandoned..

I use the fork aarchup (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=49100) myself.

Fork in https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=49100 with a few more features if anyone is interested.

That did it. I didn't have to use md5sum. I tried Mektub's solution, but I'm a newbie, so I probably didn't understand the C sintax very well. I still got the too many arguments error. Thank you very very much, though. I was very excited to try this package. =]

PKGBUILD: http://pastebin.com/j8j368A1
and the patch: http://pastebin.com/1y0dL8j7 name it 'libnotify.patch'
If you get any error with md5 use md5sum at libnotify.patch and change it into PKGBUILD.

EDIT: Sorry, haven't seen the post above by Mektub. Thats the same as he said.

changing:

my_notify = notify_notification_new("New updates for Archlinux available!",output_string,NULL,NULL);

to:

my_notify = notify_notification_new("New updates for Archlinux available!",output_string,NULL);

fixes it.

Hello Rorschach
archup crashes on my box if i run it without any arguments: http://aur.pastebin.com/tdxJi8Xq
doesn't bother me too much since it works in the cronjob, but it doesn't feel right ;)

Updated to version 1.3.

Changelog:
archup-1.3
* some code cleanup, updated docs, ...
* added --uid|-i flag to allow dropping the rights if executed as root-cronjob
* added --command|-c flag to allow a custom updatelist retrival command
* added --urgency|-u flag to choose the urgencylevel and thus the color of the notification

@lucke: with the -c Flag you can now execute your own script, filtering out the IgnorePkgs.

Thanks for the hint ;) I'll take a look at it and filter IgnorePkgs out. But I will make a commandline-option to not filter them out optionally.

It seems to inform about updates of packages in IgnorePkg. Is it a bug or a feature?
