"""
pyupdatesd: A simple yum update checker.

This script will watch for available yum updates and show a Gtk2 tray icon and
notification pop-up when updates become available.

This is intended for desktop environments like XFCE that don't have a native
PackageKit update watcher.

Set this script to run on session startup, and it will check for updates every
15 minutes (by default; this is configurable in the source code).

This software is open domain and may be freely modified and distributed.

Requires: pygtk2

Usage: pyupdatesd [--display :0.0 --help --debug --testing]
