Re: pyupdatesd: A Yum Updates Tray Icon for XFCE

A few versions ago in Fedora (v15), the PackageKit daemon doesn't
work
in XFCE anymore, so I wrote a small Perl Gtk2 app that would watch for
available yum updates and put a tray icon in your Notification Area to
notify you (Perl version: http://sh.kirsle.net/kupdatesd)
I've recently ported the app over to Python 2. I heard that the Fedora
XFCE spins are going to drop Perl (or at least severely shrink the Perl
installation) to save space, so the Python version of this app will be
useful going forward (on my current Fedora 18 XFCE desktops, pygtk2 was
already installed, which is pretty much this script's only dependency). :)
Source code to pyupdatesd: http://sh.kirsle.net/pyupdatesd- this code is
open domain and you can do with it what you please. It would be neat if
this could be shipped with future releases of the Fedora XFCE spin.
Here's the source code here also, in case the links are down. This
version has only been lightly tested (I literally just finished writing
it an hour ago), but seems to work so far.
Hi,
it looks like your script doesn't work on Fedora 19. I've tested it this
morning and absolutely nothing happened. No errormessages but also no
notifications about new updates - but updates were available.
