Package: update-notifier (0.70.7.debian-5)

Daemon which notifies about package updates

Update Notifier can check for the availability of new packages for your Debian system. When it detects new versions of the packages installed on the system are available, it will add an icon on the desktop notification area.

The package database has to be updated periodically for it to work. You can setup an automatic update using the software-properties-gtk (for GNOME users) or software-properties-kde (for KDE users) packages. You can also add your own cron schedule, or even rely on a tool such as cron-apt.

This package works with any Desktop system that implements the FreeDesktop notification area specification, like GNOME, KDE and Xfce.
