Tray notification applet for informing about package updates in Slackware.
Project description
About
SUN (Slackware Update Notifier) is a tray notification applet and background
daemon that monitors the Slackware ChangeLog.txt for package updates and
notifies the desktop user when new updates are available. It also serves as a
CLI tool for checking updates and viewing OS and machine information.
SUN works by default with slackpkg, as well as with other tools like slpkg. You can probably use SUN with other Slackware-based Linux distributions as well.
