Listing packages to update without updating.

Ok, here is the scenario.
I want to setup a cron that would run pacman daily, and send me the output as to which packages COULD be updated, without actually updating them.
something like pacman -Sy?
I don't know what to put in for the question mark. If I put in u, it prompts to actually perform the update. I just wan't to list what COULD be updated, not start trying to do an update.
Any ideas?
I could likely hack something together where I setup a script to run packman and then kill it after it stops generating output, but that is very ugly, and I would prefer to just have pacman output a list of potential upgrades, then just sent that to myself. This would be great for administering servers.

Proceed with upgrade? [Y/n]
As stated above, I could just pipe "n" to pacman, but that seems inelegant to me. I would prefer to have the package manager just output the potential changes without needing something like that. Must be just me though...thank god for open source.
Anyway, pacman -Su does not download updates from the repo anyway, so it would be fetching against outdated material..
pacman -Syu still suffers from the above fate, as well as the progress bar output if new package lists are fetched from the repo....
I guess this is just something that I alone think would be cool/useful. So be it. I will endeavor to make it happen for myself nonetheless.

  • Podcast List view not updated with iTunes 11.3.1.2

    Podcast List view not updated with iTunes 11.3.1.2
    Windows 7 Enterprise Service Pack 1 / Intel-i7 2.40 GHz / 8GB RAM / 64-bit
    iTunes 11.3.1.2
    After refreshing my Podcast list, some Podcasts with new episodes do not display the "Unplayed" blue dot.
    If the podcast "folder" is expanded by clicking the triangle, the new episodes are shown with a "Unplayed" blue dot.
    A new episode is shown in the My Podcast view, with the correct number of new episodes.
    The new episodes are displayed in the All Unplayed view.
    I've tried deleting all episodes and downloading new episodes from the iTunes Store.
    I've tried Unsubscribing and deleting the podcast, then Subscribing again from the iTunes Store.
    Neither attempt resolved the issue.
    I've seen this issue for a while, and was disappointed to find no change with the iTunes 11.3.1.2 update.

    it finally worked; got my Rush 24/7 downloaded, and it finally found my iPhone after switching from the USB 4 port Hub to a dedicated USB 2.0 slot on my laptop.

  • 10.8.4 Mac Mail Sort List Doesn't Update

    In Mountain Lion 10.8.4's Mac mail program, I see the list on the left side doesn't update the list preview with the most recent email as part of that thread -- so it is difficult to lknow who the most recent email is coming from. For instance, if I send an email to a client, and I copy myself -- I get to see that copy in the list preview because it came into my inbox, BUT when the person responds to that email the list preview does NOT change to reflect the most recent sender of the email or the most recent snippet of the email. It shows that the email is unread -- but is misleading because it shows the sender as myself and a snippet of my email INSTEAD it should show the most recent sender and a snippet of the most recent message... is there a preference to change this or a patch to fix ?

    Does anyone on the Mac Mail or OSX Support team have a solution to this...? You can easily miss emails at a glance if you lok in the list preview and that list has not updated to reveal a snippet of the latest email in the thread....thanks for your help!

  • Standard API or package to update the Table fa_mc_books_rates in FA in R12.

    I should perform an update statement on fa_mc_books_rates. The package "MC_FA_UTILITIES_PKG" had a procedure for updating fa_mc_books_rates in 11i, but it doesn't have in R12. please let me know if you know the standard API or package to update fa_mc_books_rates.

    Also I am new to Oracle FA and I have couple questions in it and please I need your help. I am doing my assets conversion from 11.0.3 --> flat files --> Oracle R12
    through FA_MASS_ADDITIONS and Post mass additions program. If it's just converting the assets, it looks pretty straight forward, but my questions are:
    1. I have to also convert relations like Parent-Child-Grand child and we cannot convert all the assets along with these relations because the dependent assets
    might not exist before and I am thinking of using PARENT_MASS_ADDITION_ID for that purpose, but I am not sure as Oracle says not to use that column.
    I need your suggestion how can we achiene this.
    2. I also need to convert my project related information like PROJECT_ID and TASK_ID but oracle says I cannot use PROJECT_ID in FA_MASS_ADDITIONS, so I am
    wondering if we have any update api which I can update the project information in the base tables for the assets after the conversion like a post conversion process.
    Please advice me.
    Thanks in advanve

    I Have tried repairing visual studio But no use.
    I have unistalled all the things and installed again but no use . Please anybody resolve this issue..

    Hello amanojkumar24,
    I see a related error thread from here:

    As you've already repaired Visual Studio but Visual Studio still reports the error for you, we need to look into the error info:
    This package requires minimum version 0.0.0.0 of framework Microsoft.VCLibs.120.00.Debug published by any publisher to install.
    So here we need this package "Microsoft.VCLibs.120.00.Debug"
    Please do the following:
    1. Check your installation that you have enabled VC++ components. If you haven't or if you are not sure of it, please check this blog:
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vcblog/archive/2014/08/01/c-runtime-for-sideloaded-windows-8-1-apps.aspx
    Then you can download and install the package from
    here.
    2. You can also make sure you've registered and already have the license:

  • Need to send email to email addresses in one list when list 2 is updated

    I have  2 lists
    list 1 has email addresses
    the 2nd list is actually a document library
    what I was wondering, is how can I send an email to people to people in list 1 when list #2 is updated with new documents?
    i have been trying different  ways of doing it, but no luck....
    anyone have any ideas how to capture the email address from list 1 and send them an email when list #2 is updated?
    seems straight forward but cant find the logic...

    Hi,
    I would suggest you to go for custom event receiver using visual studio. Its an easy way.... try it out.
    Choose List item event in event receiver settings.
    Step 1:Add item was added and item was updated event. Use caml query to fetch email address and loop through the collection and send email using SPUtility. Refer below code.
    /// <summary>
    /// An item was added.
    /// </summary>
    public override void ItemAdded(SPItemEventProperties properties)
    //base.ItemAdded(properties);
    using (SPWeb web = properties.OpenWeb())
    SPQuery query = new SPQuery();
    query.Query = "<OrderBy><FieldRef Name='Title' Ascending='False' /></OrderBy>";
    SPList emailList = web.Lists["List1"];//The list which has the email addresses
    SPListItemCollection listItemCollection = emailList.GetItems(query);
    foreach (SPListItem item in listItemCollection)
    SPUtility.SendEmail(web, true, false, item["emailAddress"].ToString(), "Your Mail subject", "Your mail body");
    /// <summary>
    /// An item was updated.
    /// </summary>
    public override void ItemUpdated(SPItemEventProperties properties)
    //base.ItemUpdated(properties);
    //you can provide same code here..if needed.
    Step 2: Provide the list2(document library) path as the ListUrl in Element.xml
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
    <Receivers ListUrl="/list2/"> <!--provide document library path...-->
    <Receiver>
    <Name>EventReceiver1ItemAdded</Name>
    <Type>ItemAdded</Type>
    <Assembly>$SharePoint.Project.AssemblyFullName$</Assembly>
    <Class>SharePointProject1.EventReceiver1.EventReceiver1</Class>
    <SequenceNumber>10000</SequenceNumber>
    </Receiver>
    <Receiver>
    <Name>EventReceiver1ItemUpdated</Name>
    <Type>ItemUpdated</Type>
    <Assembly>$SharePoint.Project.AssemblyFullName$</Assembly>
    <Class>SharePointProject1.EventReceiver1.EventReceiver1</Class>
    <SequenceNumber>10000</SequenceNumber>
    </Receiver>
    </Receivers>
    </Elements>
    Deploy it to your SharePoint farm..make sure the feature is activated..and enjoy..
    Probably this should work..Check it out and let me know..

  • HT5824 my contact list does not update to its current state. After I sync to Itunes or after I back up to I cloud  Also I did a doccuments and data restore and it still didnt change. How do I fix this?

    My contact list does not update to its current state after I sync it to itunes or back it up to icloud  I did a documents and data reset and the contact list still didnt change.. How do I fix this?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

  • Purchased list can't update

    Open My Purchased list, there are some apps in there.
    But when I bought apps again, the purchased list can't update. The purchased list has no change. The app I bought can be download, but not appear in the Purchased list .
    I have already authorized to my computer. MAC or PC all appear this question.
    I don't know what to do.

    but not appear in the Purchased list
    Maybe the apps have been hidden inadvertently ...
    Launch iTunes on your Mac. From the menu bar top of your screen click Store > Sign In
    Now click your Account name in the account area right side of the iTunes Store window.
    That will take you to the Account Information window.
    Now click:  View Hidden Purchases

  • Mavericks update not listed in software updates on server

    I have several Mac clients enrolled with OS X server. They are set to look to this server for software updates to reduce bandwidth usage. When they search for the update, it is not available. The 10.9 update is not listed in Software Updates inside of OS X Server.app. Any ideas on how to import that so my users can download it?

    A generational OS upgrade like Lion to Mountain Lion, or in this case Mountain Lion to Mavericks has never (and still is not) been counted as a software update and hence is not available via Apple Software Update Server.
    Even though it is now free it is still done via the App Store. If/when a Mavericks update comes out e.g. 10.9.1 this will only update earlier Mavericks versions so will not help you. However as Mavericks is free for all compatible Macs the following are solutions you should be able to use.
    Greg Neagle of Disney Animation Studios and the author of the administration tool Munki, has written another tool called createOSXinstallPkg which will let you take a full operating system as downloaded from the App Store and convert it in to an installer Pkg file which you can 'run' on a Mac to do an operating system upgrade.
    See http://managingosx.wordpress.com/2012/07/25/son-of-installlion-pkg/
    I don't know if it has been tested or if it will work but in theory it would do Mavericks as well as Mountain Lion. You could therefore (hopefully) use it to build a pkg and push it to your clients via for example Apple Remote Desktop Administrator or Casper or something else.
    In terms of bandwidth saving, while as mentioned above a Mavericks upgrade is not available via Apple Software Update Server and therefore running your own SUS will not help, you can run Apple's Cache Server which is another module in Server.app this will cache downloads from the App Store including the Mavericks download and thereafter anyone else requesting it will get it from your local cache.
    See http://krypted.com/mac-security/the-new-caching-service-in-os-x-server/
