The GNOME team uses a similar purpose tool for packages released to GNOME mirrors. It's currently maintained by dang on a git repository of his, located here: git://apollo.fprintf.net/depchecker It produces a result like this: http://dev.gentoo.org/~leio/gnome/gnome2.20.html Which visualizes what version bumps we are missing for a given GNOME release series. There have been blue sky ideas how to improve something like this to a lot more packages, including all hosted on GNOME mirrors and available from gnomefiles.org lists (we have parse-able data available from them) and more, but nothing has materialized as of yet. -- Mart Raudsepp Gentoo Developer Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Weblog: http://planet.gentoo.org/developers/leio
