Is there a way to get notified, when an #ArchLinux package is updated?

Sometimes I’m eagerly awaiting an upgrade to a specific package. Is there a way to get a notification of some sort, once the update is available?

In this case I’m waiting for thunderbird and wine-nine.

I check every day with pacman -S thunderbird

Hi there! The links in your response are not clickable for Lemmy users, here are the clickable versions: !archlinux@lemmy.ml, !archlinux@lemmy.world, !archlinux@discuss.tchncs.de

You could keep an eye on the PKGBUILDs. For Thunderbirds, for example, you could use the following in a RSS reader:

https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/thunderbird/-/commits/main/PKGBUILD

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using an URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !archlinux@lemmy.ml, !archlinux@lemmy.world, !archlinux@discuss.tchncs.de
