*** DESCRIPTION ***
|
|
*******************
|
|
|
|
wmArchUp is a very simple program used to monitor for package updates in Arch
|
|
Linux. It uses the checkupdates script that come with pacman for safe checking
|
|
if there is any package updates. It is a dockapp that is supported by X window
|
|
managers such as Window Maker, AfterStep, BlackBox, Fluxbox and Enlightenment.
|
|
|
|
This dockapp is quite simple. It contains an Arch Linux logo icon. When there is
|
|
not package updates then the Arch Linux logo icon is greyed. When there are
|
|
package updates then the Arch Linux logo icon is blue. The program check for
|
|
updates every 10 minutes by default. However you can specify the checking
|
|
interval by using the -c or --check-interval command line arguments. When the
|
|
program checks for updates it change its icon in a gear. If you right click the
|
|
Arch Linux logo icon then it immediately starts a check for updates. If you left
|
|
click the Arch Linux log the it opens an xterm window and start a system update.
