[aur-general] AUR-notify suggestions
Hi folks, I have a small suggestion, which I wonder if it might be possible to easily implement for the AUR. As are we all, I'm subscribed to be "notified" about packages which I'm interested in, so I get emails when comments get posted to their page. It would be really useful, I think, if: 1) It could say in the email (preferably the subject) if I was the person who uploaded / am currently maintaining that package. and 2) If I could also be notified when a new version of the package was uploaded. What do those in the know think? Cheers, Pete.

What would that be useful for? To put those mails in different mail boxes? I currently keep a list with AUR packages I maintain and use it to highlight mail notifications for such packages in mutt (which works fine unless you adopt/create new packages every day). If you want this to be implemented, the bug tracker [1] might be a better place.
2) If I could also be notified when a new version of the package was uploaded.
There already is a feature request for that feature [2]. [1] http://bugs.archlinux.org/index.php?project=2 [2] http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/7442

Well...

To avoid having to do this :-) It just seemed like a nicer solution than everyone having to keep and update mail filters for every package. I personally tend to scan down a message list for subject lines that make me act. It's not a big deal, but this would just help a little.
If you want this to be implemented, the bug tracker [1] might be a better place.
Okay thanks. I just thought I'd ask around informally before sticking in a request.
2) If I could also be notified when a new version of the package was uploaded.
