Such functionality is eventually planned for the RSS/Atom feed that the depot server now provides. However, it's at least several months off in the grand scheme of things. The main reason that the feed is useful now is because it clearly marks *new* packages in the repository as being "Added". Since we seem to add new packages almost every time there is a new build, this is useful for someone to find out about new software that wasn't previously available and that an update notification wouldn't let you know about (e.g. scim packages). -- Shawn Walker _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
