KP, Would a trac wiki page showing the current upstream version, and date last checked for each package listed below work? http://leaf.sourceforge.net/bering-uclibc/index.php?module=pagemaster&PAGE_user_op=view_page&PAGE_id=13 > nor the devel-list cluttered with upstream announces. Ok > Can't we create just another maillist (e.g. "leaf-upstream-tracking"), > that we can use to subscribe to upstream projetcs? A list of this type would still need posts from subscribed members. It wouldn't be a good idea to subscribe one of our lists to another project's announce list. This is a recipe for email loops. RSS is better suited to pulling and aggregating announcements from multiple sources. I think Fedora's cnucnu is a better solution, provided we can adapt it to our use. http://fedorapeople.org/gitweb?p=till/public_git/cnucnu.git;a=summary -- Mike Noyes http://sourceforge.net/users/mhnoyes https://profiles.google.com/mhnoyes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ridiculously easy VDI.
