updates notifier

This applet monitors if updates are available for systems using pkcon tool (part of packagekit package) It also allows viewing available updates and installing them through the popup menu.

In order to have updates count refreshed, some external way to do this is needed (e.g. enabled automatic updates checking in gnome-software if such app is present, or in debian-based systems some way to periodically run apt update).

Settings

You can:

• change refresh timeout
• change default update/upgrade pkcon commands to your own.
• enable showing three (configurable) levels of icon to show how many packages are waiting for the upgrades.
• hide applet if there are no updates available

Dependencies

• pkcon (packagekit), gnome-terminal`
