[aur-dev] AUR new package notification
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? [1] http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-dev/2008-June/000323.html [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/rss.php
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>:

Yeah I would kill, or alter anything that requires tupkgs. That was based on the old scripts that TUs used before switching to devtools.

Done. I decided to just remove new package notification foo.
