Updated https://github.com/bulletmark/pacpush to remove cower and have updated the AUR package here.

Thanks!

@Alad, that link you gave me for https://aur.archlinux.org/rpc.php was perfect. I have already implemented the change and will submit it later. Doing this stuff is much easier in python than shell!

The following might be a more useful suggestion:

The test suited is related to nlohmann-json, which is a single header file but has a massive test suite...

Anyway to retrieve packages + versions you can query the AUR RPC, using one request for multiple packages, for example:

pacman -Qm | xargs aur rpc -t info | jq -r '.results[] | [.Name, .Version] | @tsv'

(aur-rpc is a small script I wrote due to limitations with GET requests.) In python you'd probably use import json instead of jq.

@Alad, I personally avoid -git packages. Also, auracle takes forever to build and install (including the test suite it runs) which I'd like to avoid given how small pacpush is. I merely need a way to get a list of installed AUR packages which have newer versions. Can you suggest something else? Actually, is there a way to query the aur with a list of packages to return the current versions? Or a way to download a complete list of packages + versions? Finding "backend" info about Arch is difficult.

Would you mind updating this to use auracle? cower poses a heavy tax on the AUR due to it filing one request per package.

Note this package was previously named as pacsync but /usr/bin/pacsync already existed in community package pacutils. So have renamed the package here and on my github repo at https://github.com/bulletmark/pacpush.
