Not just the rss-title with the package name.
I see. Description wouldn't be a problem but the changelog would be very difficult, as we don't track that in the database as of now. We'd first have to implement changelog support in the database and website, and even then, the RPM changelogs wouldn't be sufficient as they merely track the packaging related modifications (e.g. "new upstream version", "fixed BuildRequires for openSUSE 10.3") and only rarely information that is relevant to the end user. So, unfortunately, I'd say it's not reasonably feasible to show changelogs in the RSS feed (nor on the website), but package descriptions wouldn't be much of a problem. cheers - -- -o) Pascal Bleser http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/ /\\ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _\_v The more things change, the more they stay insane. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHJk7wr3NMWliFcXcRAmRDAJ9jtzfyDD6419YL10BpG3pZ3xjGLgCfRXfm 55Dp8tCSDXsXywiHpoqBOX0= =fn9f -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Packman mailing list Packman@links2linux.de http://212.112.227.138/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/packman
