No, it doesn't do this. But it's close and could be changed to do this. It displays the latest release for each plugin as shown on http://people.apache.org/~vmassol/multichanges.jpg > I've never used it to be honest, I always assumed it > aggregated changes.xml files (which means actual changes, not just > listing versions) - and the one line of documentation on the site > indicates that as well. I guess it's a bit a misnomer. It doesn't aggregate changes.xml. The reason it's called multichanges is because it uses the changes.xml files to gather the release information. But I agree the name is not the best possible... > Is it really suitable for the task? If so, please go ahead and add it > back. On a slightly OT: I think we should do the following: - Have a CI for the Maven plugins web site so that it is published every few hours - If the site build fails, an email is sent to the maven dev mailing list with the error - Make sure the multichanges plugin gets built as part of the plugins site (I've checked and it is actually still there in the report list, so it's just a matter or running the site build) - Improve the multichanges plugin to add a RSS feed. - Advertise it This will allow people to get a fresh list of the latest version of plugins. This will allow them to get RSS notifications as soon as a new plugin is released (and I'll stop what I've started on mavenbook.org, i.e. announcing plugin releases). WDYT? I don't have much time right now but I guess I could do the multichanges modification to add the generation of a RSS feed. If someone could do the 5-10 lines shell script to build the plugins site that would be great (or use CC or something else). -Vincent --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
