Was wondering if we should make a tool or if we already have one to see which packages we maintain have updates available. One thing that could be done would be monitoring the .rss feed version of this page: http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/recent.html The "title" of each "item" in that .xml looks like "hlint 1.8.10" which can be split on the space to give package name and version. That could flag certain packages we support as having upgrades available. Those of course would want to be checked against something like http://packdeps.haskellers.com/ and/or http://bifunctor.homelinux.net/~roel/hackage/packages/archive/pkg-list.html to make sure the updates won't break things. -Leif Warner
