Cpan provides rss feed over @ http://search.cpan.org/uploads.rdf that could be used to avoid excessive and unnecessery polling of cpan website. This feed could be used for "monitor" part .. It shouldnt be very tedious (read: hack quality shouldn't take more than few hours) task to setup a polling script to fetch that and do checks against what libraries are wanted for "automatic integration", call cpan2rpm and submit the resulting source rpm to integration queue via obs/your c.i. tool of choice ("update" part) ? Depending on what is actually wanted (for example, maybe there's a requirement for per-package switches for cpan2rpm), there might be a need to retrain & fetch some sort of metadata on per package basis but hey, we're dealing with perl here, shouldnt be a problem ;) _______________________________________________ MeeGo-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev
