Hi, currently repository information is extracted from the Sources files in unstable and experimental, i.e. vcswatch doesn't follow changes in Vcs-* inside the repository. While in theory possible, it could mean that we'd have to chase a non-trivial list of redirects if the other repository points elsewhere as well. Not sure we'd want to go that route. Would the from-Sources-only repo information still be valuable for you to have? > This could be triggered whenever repositories are found to be different > at poll time, but e.g. for salsa this could be triggered by a server side hook > (https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/server_hooks.html#create-a-global-server-hook-for-all-repositories) I'm not sure I follow, do you want a general webhook in salsa that would call out *to* vcswatch, or do you want a webhook *from* vcswatch to elsewhere? > This would be helpful for scheduling in the Janitor, being able to trigger > runs as soon as packaging repositories change. That part I understood. Christoph
