I agree the freshmeat notification is a pretty good thing, OTOH some ports need special attention (e.g. the j2sdk binary takes a while until it's found on a public ftp site), and therefore I like to have one utility able to check both freshmeat and "other" sites :-) (for now I use a homebrewn script, but I'll have a look at Simone's).
I've been using some stupid script that looks at .listing files and doesn't work very well (fortunately there's the gnome ftp-release-list). Anyway, if Simone's scripts work well perhaps the CLC could implement a system of notifying maintainers/packagers when they need to update their ports? That would be super cool. :-) //rrm3 -- The end of the human race will be that it will eventually die of civilization. -- Ralph Waldo Emerson
