List available updates from the Arch User Repository (AUR)
Example i3blocks configuration:
[aur-update]
command=$SCRIPT_DIR/aur-update
markup=pango
format=json
interval=43200
UPDATE_COLOR=red
QUIET=1
IGNORE=root vidyodesktop
#CACHE_UPDATES=0
Right or middle click sends a notification (via notify-send) with a list of outdated packages
and the corresponding version information.
If you enable caching (CACHE_UPDATES=1), the update list will be cached as an environment variable.
This will be read on a (right/middle) click to directly show the notification without the delay caused by updating the list.
