I would think it would have to be an RPM for each hack. I wonder if the openSUSE Build Service could be used for this. It can build packages for many distros. The trick would be triggering it to make a new RPM for something. > I would expect an RSS feed on a hack's folder which would let you > follow progress on your plugins, but I couldn't find it (not logged > in) One thing that makes this a bit more of a moving target is that all hacks are in the same repo. So, if you download one, the release in the archive name increments even if there is no change to the hack actually in the archive. > -- Roger Oberholtzer -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Trac Users" group.
