For those unpatiently waiting for gnome 41 and are running home assistant.

Add the following to your sensors to check the package version every hour:

- platform: command_line name: Gnome Shell Version json_attributes: - pkgver - pkgrel - repo command: "curl https://archlinux.org/packages/search/json/?name=gnome-shell | python -c \"import sys, json; print(json.dumps(json.load(sys.stdin)['results'][-1]))\"" value_template: "{{ value_json.pkgver | float }}-{{ value_json.pkgrel }}" scan_interval: 600 

You can use it in sensors to see the current gnome-shell version and repo with an entities card:

type: entities entities: - entity: sensor.gnome_shell_version icon: mdi:gnome - type: attribute entity: sensor.gnome_shell_version attribute: repo name: Repository icon: mdi:database 

With an automation you can get a notification of your choice. e.g. getting one on my mobile app
