Checkupdates for pacman and yay/paru

[pundemia-dev]

Good day :)
Could you also add a check for updates for package managers (pacman and yay/paru)? I use this kind of script to search for packages via yay and pacman that need updating:

function show_updates
   set --local pac_updates (checkupdates)
   set --local yay_updates (yay -Qua)

   printf "󰮯 Pacman packages (%d):\n" (count $pac_updates)
   printf "%s\n" $pac_updates
   printf "\n Yay packages (%d):\n" (count $yay_updates)
   printf "%s\n" $yay_updates
end

show_updates

And this script is for the indicator:

function updates_icons
    set --local pac_updates (checkupdates | count)
    set --local yay_updates (yay -Qua | count)

    printf "󰮯 "
    if test $pac_updates -gt 0
        printf "(%d)" $pac_updates
    end

    printf "  "
    if test $yay_updates -gt 0
        printf "(%d)" $yay_updates
    end
end

updates_icons

You could simply add an icon of pacman that appears when updates are available - or something similar... And on hover, it could show additional information.
thanks!

I forgot to mention that this uses the package from extra repository - pacman-contrib

Hi, I might do it but I'm trying to keep the project distro-agnostic. So if I do it for Arch, I'll have to do it for other distros.
It will be done, but not soon lol.
