Hi all, With the recent security issues around orphaned AUR packages, there has been a massive wave of new tools popping up to scan code. It feels like every single day a new script is released and quickly forgotten, making it hard to find anything with actual substance. Oversight is not a reactionary tool built overnight to jump on the security hype, nor does it rely on hidden blacklists or try to make automated blocking decisions for you. It originally launched as a general-purpose terminal viewer to review local files and raw web scripts, which has now been extended to handle AUR package updates. It was briefly mentioned on the aur-general mailing list, and with version 0.5.6 dropping today, it is time to share it with a wider audience. It acts strictly as an interactive terminal pager that intercepts commands or batch updates, parsing the incoming streams into a clean, multi-tab layout so you can easily review code, install scripts, and patches side by side before anything touches your system. It flags potential security anomalies for you, but leaves the final verdict completely in your hands. Rather than listing out technical specs or trying to sell you on features, the code and documentation are available for you to look at directly. Please read the README in the repo and study the actual implementation before writing it off as another quick project. The source code and setup instructions are over on GitHub: Oversight   submitted by   /u/ClassroomHaunting333 [link]   [comments]
