Update indicator for Arch Linux and GNOME Shell
- Uses pacman's «checkupdates» by default and thus does not need root access
- Optional update count display on panel
- Optional notification on new updates (defaults to off)
- Launcher for your favorite update command
- Comes in English, French, Czech, German, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Polish, Romanian, Arabic, Slovak, Chinese, Serbian, Swedish, Norwegian Bokmal, Russian, Persian, Turkish, Esperanto, Finnish languages. (Thanks translators !)
If you use the default "checkupdates" way (part of pacman), you will need to install "fakeroot".
