Is there a GUI app for trizen similar to pamac?

rado84 · 2023-07-31 13:48:05

I use pamac-classic to tell me whenever there are new updates, however I update the system manually through the terminal, so in my case pamac-classic is just a visual alert for new updates. However, since pamac and pamac-classic are for pacman only, they DON'T display waiting updates from AUR.

As you probably know, whenever there are new updates from extra/core/multilib repos, pamac-classic changes its icon in the lower right corner of the panel. That's what I call "a visual alert".

So, the question is - is there any GUI app for trizen that would display a visual alert whenever there are waiting updates from AUR?

Or, if there isn't one, can I include AUR in pacman.conf, so that when there are new AUR updates, the waiting packages are included in this screen (the screenshot below)? What you see on the following image is the default display of pamac-classic. BUT!!! If there are any packages from AUR waiting to be updated, they're never included in this screen and the only way you find out that there are packages waiting to be updated is when the terminal finishes updating the official repo packages and after that suddenly an AUR package name pops up. Like a moment ago - a few packages from extra updated and just when I thought the updating process was completed, a "yay-bin" popped up, asking me for an action, so that it proceeds with updating.

After all these explanations, I can only hope you understand what I'm asking and what I need, but if not, I'll try and explain again.

No.

Pacman has no support for AUR and will never get it.
There are several reasons for it, but the most important one (according to pacman devs ) is that AUR is archlinux specific, while pacman is not .

I don't use aur helpers, but have never heard of a gui frontend for trizen.

pacman -Qm | grep git

If that's not empty you can just add a static blue icon because there're effectively always something that might potentially have seen an update (and the only way to figure that is to monitor the upstream git)

Otherwise you can inverse grep that list and get the PKGBUILD from git and compare the local pkgver to the latest one.

You forgot a few:

pacman -Qmq | grep -E '\-(bzr|fossil|git|hg|svn|devel)$'
