I personally use the "ck4up" [#1], a simple but very useful ruby script, for mantain up to date my all packages in AUR. It works doing a md5 sum of the page for find changes with regular expresions to match some particular part of the page. Can use aliases for common tasks and for urls. I post my configuration file [#2] to serve as example. It contains 51 packages urls and some common aliases for URL like freshmeat, sourceforge, cpan, and others. Also contain two aliases to match tarballs. Good Luck!
