Is there some convenient way of monitoring changes to the Arch repos?
The reason for asking is the work we do in ArchHaskell. Due to how ghc (the Haskell compiler) works it's necessary to re-compile and re-link a package when one of its dependencies changes. In this case "changes" includes a bump of pkgrel as well. Currently we're not trying to track any changes to the dependencies living in [extra] and [community], which means that at times packages in ArchHaskell breaks until a user notices it. Are there any tools that can help out with this?
Thanks, I didn't know that existed. Now I know the data exists so I need a good tool that lets me monitor a subset of the packages of Arch. Does that exist already or do I need to hack something up myself?

or you can subscribe to arch-commits ml
True, but that sounds like a labour-intensive route as well, though maybe some clever mail filters would alleviate that somewhat. It's only a small subset of packages (in the order of <50) that I need to monitor. The ideal solution would allow me to get a notification whenever a package that requires ghc to build is updated, but that's probably a bit much to hope for :) /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus
