PKG_NOTIFY(1)

NAME
pkg_notify - Notifies package maintainer when a new version is available

SYNOPSIS
pkg_notify [-c list-file] [...]

DESCRIPTION
pkg_notify notifies package maintainers when a new version of the software is available.

In order to use pkg_notify, create the /usr/pkg/etc/pkg_notify.list file containing the package list you want to be informed on. The file contains a list of category/package pairs, one per line. For example:

    audio/bmp
    devel/ncurses
    x11/xbindkeys

The following option may be used:

-c list-file
    Use list-file as the file containing the package list.

Otherwise, pkg_notify can be called with a list of packages to be checked as arguments.
