Hey,
I've moved my pyupdatesd script to GitHub:
https://github.com/kirsle/bin/blob/master/pyupdatesd - so, git pull
requests are welcome if anyone has any tweaks they'd like for this script.
I've added a few features to it, in the form of command-line options:
* You can set/override the $DISPLAY for X11 by using the --display
option (useful if you launch the script from an environment where
$DISPLAY isn't set).
* Debug mode with --debug will make the script print things verbosely
(including the exit status code and output from `yum check-update`)
* Testing mode with --testing will force the script to disregard the
output from `yum check-update` and pretend that it returned with code
100 (indicating updates are available), so the script will show the icon
and notification pop-up.
I've also made the script schedule its first update check for "now" on
startup, so you don't have to wait 15 minutes to get the first
notification to appear.
