SUN (Slackware Update Notifier) is a tray notification applet
and daemon for informing about package updates in Slackware.
It also serves as a CLI tool for monitoring upgraded packages.
SUN works by default with slackpkg, as well as with other tools
like slpkg. You can probably use SUN with other Slackware-based
Linux distributions as well.
Edit the configuration file at /etc/sun/sun.conf and change the
HTTP mirror to one in your country.
Note: FTP mirrors are not supported.
Optional dependency: qt5-styleplugins (from SlackBuilds.org)
Required for GTK theme integration on non-KDE desktops (XFCE, Openbox, etc.).
See README_THEME.md for setup instructions.
This requires: python3-build, python3-wheel
