It seems I was the only one to use this feature ^^ If it's the case, then I allow you to delete it, I will use the RSS :D Cilyan 2011/4/12 Lukas Fleischer <archlinux@cryptocrack.de>:
I'm not subscribed to new package notifications but it seems like AUR this feature has been disabled for a while now. At least, I did neither find a cronjob running "newpackage-notify" nor the "tupkgs.conf" configuration file that is required to run this script. Browsing the aur-dev archives, I also found a mail [1] from 2008 reporting that the cronjob was obviously disabled.
Do we still need this at all?
Given that there were no complaints for more than two years and that there's a RSS feed [2] for new packages, I'd say we can drop the notification script as well as the field on the account page.
Objections?
