keeping up-to-date w/ AUR packages

Short of manually visiting the AUR and checking on the packages that I am using from there, is there a better way to insure that I'm up-to-date should a new version of a PKGBUILD get published?  I'm not interested in using yaourt.

There's RSS, and a brief glance suggests there are various other options besides yaourt - available in the AUR, of course.

I use arson for this.  You can find it on evaryont's github or in the aur.  It's got many more options but listing updates is one of them.

Re: keeping up-to-date w/ AUR packages

yaourt -- a pacman "overlay" that also beautifully interfaces with AUR.

Same syntax as pacman.

Want to update?   # yaourt -Syy
Want to upgrade?   # youart -Su
Update and Upgrade?   # yaourt -Syyu
Update and Upgrade including AUR?   #yaourt -Syyu --aur

srcman in combination with a AUR database for pacman might be interesting for you. See http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=65501 for details.
