archupd - Arch Linux updater

Hi all, I'd like to share a little tool I use personally to keep my install up to date: archupd (available in the AUR).

It does the following:

Run sudo pacman -Sc to clean up old packages.
Run sudo pacman -Syu to update outdated packages.
Show relevant pacman logfile contents, which includes the old and new version of each package.
Show any new package changelog entries. (In practice, most packages don't use these, but when they do, it can be interesting.)
Offer to remove packages that have become unrequired.
Display any new official Arch Linux news from RSS feed. Feed contents are retrieved in the background.

Looking into your github repos, found pacmods. It's pretty handy as well.
