Check if one package points to the last version of the github repository

    Hi.

    I have made this small bash to check if one package is updated or not, using the github api.

    • Only works for packages stored on github.
    • If the package use release numbers instead of commits, sometimes the release not is found at /repos/$OWNER/$REPO/releases/latest

    Usage.
    ./getversion.sh github_user:github_pwd > results.out

    Note that the $ROOT is hardcoded, and maybe bash is not my best skill. Is just a proof of concept.
