(Automatically) Watching Hackage Updates?
Hello, Does anybody know a method for watching Haskell package updates automatically? I am thinking of a method where I can receive an email or an RSS feed, etc, on every update of a given hackage. That would make easier to maintain hs-* ports (at least for me). In a normal case, that would be a mailing list, but I do not think every hackage has an own list :) However, hackage.haskell.org may have a method for providing such information. May be upload log [1] is for that. :g [1] http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/log
Yes, the upload log may be used. You'll also find the following RSS feed, http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/recent.rss As far as I know, there is no way to watch individual package updates. Regards. -- Samy Al Bahra On Sun, Jan 18, 2009 at 02:03:32AM +0100, Gabor PALI wrote:

I have just made one :) I wrote and installed a very simple shell script to download this log file and watch for version number changes (weekly). It requires the Makefiles of the maintained ports, so it can extract the corresponding information, and watch for updates. It generates an email in the following format: (the ones, who know my Translation Checking Service may find this format very familiar) Current Time: Sun Jan 18 10:24:08 CET 2009 The list of ports to be updated: zip-archive: 0.1.1.1 -> 0.1.1.3 ... I can add the other hackage ports if you are interested in it, and send its output to this list each week, or send in the scripts themselves. Regards, :g
