Have the results of the proposed changes been tested?

• I use the packages affected by the proposed changes on a regular basis and confirm this PR works for me
• I generally don't use the affected packages but briefly tested this PR

Why do you want to change this to something totally unrelated? Besides scripts like that do not meet the quality requirement for new packages.

[42LoCo42]

I found the old void-updates script to be quite slow and computationally intensive.
Thus I rewrote it with the goal of maximum speed and stability.
My version is significantly faster, taking only a few seconds to generate a list of packages to upgrade.
If that is not the goal of the original script, I'm sorry that I have wasted your time with this PR.
Apart from that, I don't really see why my script would not meet the quality requirements.
Shellcheck reports no warnings and all functions have descriptive names, which eases debugging.

@42LoCo42 please make a PR to the proper repository and it can be discussed there. Changing upstream of the script is not really an option.

[Johnnynator]

I think you didn't quite catch what the old script did. It checked upstream if the version in a template was old. You script checks if a package in your local binary repo is older than the template.

For what you do, take a look at xbps-checkvers (it is probably even faster than your script)

[ericonr]

That is, PR your code changes to void-updates repository.

Thank you all for enlightening me on this matter!
