uscan-notify

Command line tool to notify of any outdated Debian packages by using uscan info available from qa.d.o.

Install

I can't publish to PyPi as new registrations are temporarily disabled, but you can install from the Codeberg package registry like so:

pip install --index-url https://codeberg.org/api/packages/Maytha8/pypi/simple/ uscan-notify

From source

git clone https://codeberg.org/Maytha8/uscan-notify
cd uscan-notify

poetry install
poetry run uscan-notify --help # or

pip install .

Usage

Use --help flag for usage info.

Example: email notifications

Here's a bash script to send email notifications with the output (to use with e.g. cron)

result="$(uscan-notify --db-path <packages>)"

if [[ $result ]]; then
  echo "uscan-notify has found outdated packages, below are the results:

$result" | mail -s "[uscan-notify] Outdated packages" "<your email>"
fi

Why?

I wanted to setup email notifications whenever a new upstream version is released.
