You can subscribe to debian-devel-changes@lists.debian.org to get an email whenever a package in unstable is changed. Just filter for the packages that you have modified by parsing the subject should be sufficient :) Happy new year!

How to get changelog file for a given _binary_ package?
Hi, we use a number of backported potato packages and I am working on a script that sends me e-mail when a new version of these packages appears in woody. I would like to do this by periodically pulling the change logs for all packages that we have backported from the Debian web page (http://cgi.debian.org/cgi-bin/get-changelog?package=$package) and then comparing the version number with the version number of our back port. This doesn't work for multiple binary source packages - for example, for libdb2-util, the URL given above returns No such changelog file. Any other ideas how to do this? Greetings Marc -- -- !!

Hi, lynx -dump http://packages.debian.org/libdb2-util might do what you want. Or add woody to sources.list and parse the Packages files locally. I think you'd also need to run the development APT at people.d.o/~jgg to tag woody so it isn't an install candidate. Rick --

The get-changelog CGI doesn't seem to have worked for quite some time now. I don't think the problem is necessarily with multiple binary packages, but that a lot of data is missing. I am working on a replacement that uses a database backend, but it would need to be hooked into dinstall/da-katie/whatever in order to be most effective, and I don't expect that to happen anytime soon. -- - mdz
