aarchup (https://github.com/aericson/aarchup) is a small C application which informs the user when system-updates for Archlinux are available. It's licenced under the GPLv3. In contrast to other update notifiers aarchup is intended to be lightweight and just do what it should: notify about possible updates.
It is forked from Rorschach's archup (http://www.nongnu.org/archup/).

aarchup uses GTk+ and libnotify to show a desktop notification if updates are available. It follows the unix-philosophy of "just doing one thing, but doing  it  well". It  can be used to regulary check for new updates and show a desktop notification if there are any.

Read manpages for configuration.

Thanks

Rorschach, for the great tool and the credits are all his.
Lucke, features requests and bugs reports.
Vinta software studio (www.vinta.com.br) for encouraging it's developers to get involved with open source software.
The only reason why I made this fork was to add a few features that was needed by me.
