We’ve wanted automatic flagging packages out of date for a while and currently every packager has to come up with it’s own solution. Let’s solve this centralized by integrating nvchecker into archweb.
Using nvchecker for a couple of years now not only for Arch packages, but also for a lot of IoT devices, hobby equipment and more. Pretty happy with nvchecker-notify :)
An integration into Archweb would be awesome. Do we remove the ability to mark packages out-of-date manually then? It seems to me that a broken nvchecker config in a certain repo is more a bug than an ood package after such an addition.
As nvchecker would be opt-in, I think it makes sense to keep the manual flagging out of date for now. Depending on how good nvchecker works in general we could consider removing that option. Greetings, Jelle van der Waa
