GitHub - coffebar/waybar-module-pacman-updates: waybar module for Arch to show system updates available (AUR package waybar-module-pacman-updates-git)

Since the last two waybar releases broke my script again when it was almost ready, while researching how to do it again I found this one and it works with 0.9.24.

My package listing was nicer though… time to learn some Rust.

On the other hand, this one is incredibly faster.

edit: I noticed one possibly not-so-good feature: it syncs the database once a minute.
I think that strains the servers unnecessarily. Easy to change in the source.

P.S. I don’t actually mind installing from AUR, it’s very fast to compile, I just wanted to plug this cool project.

Requesting protovpn gtk app from the AUR

Nice one! I like it. More rusty goodness. :crab:

Where do you see that? I’m surprised to hear that because the guy announces less network usage as a feature.

Why not just exec checkupdates in custom waybar module?

  • This module will provide relevant local information constantly and periodically update data from the network in backgroud. Direct “checkupdates” will only give you one of two things: updating the information with a long delay or having the module constantly active on the network.

[…]

This small program will give you fast updates with less network usage.

I may be wrong about that, and indeed I should have looked at it more carefully before posting but I was in a rush. I may have misinterpreted that 300 / SLEEP_SECONDS (where SLEEP_SECONDS=5).

More like 5 minutes.

How about now? :grimacing: Brave Beta

This is a rather large maintenance burden, I’m not sure if it’s right to add without wider desire.

You have me curious as to why the beta? Why not wait 'til it goes gold?

Maybe it feels great to have access to features that others are just waiting for eagerly :grin: And that’s what most apps usually say in their description: “Get access to features before anyone else!”.
Not that I used to think the same, definitely not! :grimacing:

Yeah I like having access to newer features sooner rather than later. It’s why I also run the dev build on my work Windows (Windows required at work, lame I know. Fought and lost that battle). It’s why I run Arch too lol. Brave beta has always been stable enough for me so I use it exclusively.

@Technetium can you add this when you have a chance? It is a quick install as mentioned, but I’d like to add it to the Sway ISO so I’ll need it in the repo after all. :pray:

Done :slight_smile:

@Technetium please check if I made a mistake. :slight_smile:

Did you test the AUR package? A recent comment claims it no longer compiles, and then it was flagged out of date about a week later. AUR (en) - dolphin-emu-primehack-git

If the AUR package is broken, adding it to the Chaotic AUR is not going to fix that.

Balena-etcher in Chaotic-AUR doesn’t seem to work. When I try to open an image it says:

Error opening source
Something went wrong while opening
Error: requestMetadata is not a function

I had to resort to using an AppImage instead, which works fine.

I would be in favor of removing it from Chaotic-Aur.
Just use dd :slight_smile:

sudo dd bs=4M if=garuda.iso of=/dev/sdX status=progress oflag=sync

instead of an app that needs more than 230 MB with dependencies.

Or ventoy :smiley:
