... or run the 'mirror' package, and a mirror, and look at the
(perhaps weekly-- as I recall the RawHide archive is freshened
on Fridays) mirror run report, which lists each new package as
it is pulled in, and optionally deleted off ...
Trivial to archive by date, and tracks versions. Most, if not
all .spec files in the SRPMs have a capsule note when changed;
most packages carry a changelog. There are 3 to 500 packages
(depends on whether one includes the Powertools, and ancillary
archives) under formal 'adoption' at Red Hat -- more if one
watches other archives -- an 18G SCSI drive is plenty big to
carry the interesting stuff (although I just bought a couple
more 9's off ebay to expand a private developmental mirror) --
a 40G IDE ($99 on sale at CompUSA last week) is another
approach.
Sourceforge mirrors are your friend (one can get in ...).
Doing mirroring from cron at night from midnight to 8 am keeps
my office mirror dialup link busy without impairing daytime
connectivity.
