I'm working on a script for arch that does this.

I'm working on something like that too, to help me monitor my AUR packages. I haven't done anything much yet though, and I have begun to write it in Lua which is probably a bad idea because most people don't know it. Could you share your code somewhere so that we don't duplicate the work? -- catwell

You may well have more success than I do. Finding the current upstream version for packages on hosting sites is easy, doing it for joe schmoe's website isn't so simple... If all you want to do is monitor what packages you maintain that are actually /marked/ out of date, that's simple.. I could throw together a shell script for that in a few seconds (let me know if you think I should). -- Daniel J Griffiths (Ghost1227) griffithsdj@archlinux.us http://ghost1227.com

Patch against pkgtools git with PKGBUILD update as well? :D

what was that? -- Daniel J Griffiths (Ghost1227) griffithsdj@archlinux.us http://ghost1227.com

Actually my script already does that (using the AUR json interface). What's left to do is expand it with scriptlets for each kind of upstream website we can find. I have put what I've done for now here http://catwell.info/darcs/index.py?r=scripts;a=tree;f=/luachecks As I said it's really just a beginning, it took like 15 minutes between two LSM conferences to get it working and I didn't touch it since then. Moreover, it was just to see how I could do it, but I don't think using Lua is a good idea if other people have to help (maybe Bash ?). -- Pierre 'catwell' Chapuis

Guess who it is? http://oswatershed.org/

Do they have rss feeds? Where are they getting the list of "upstream releases"? Can it be customized? This could really be handy for arch-games...

They have a git repo... maybe you can steal their code.

Yeah I looked at the code to see how they were getting our versions. Interestingly enough, they pull the db.tar.gz files, unpack them, and parse through the whole thing
