Hi all As some of you already noticed today, the "upstream watch" task is now running.
Upstream watch, aka uwatch, is a task running every night, that check for each of the package present in GAR if a newer version of sources is available from the MASTER_SITE (GAR variable defining the site from which you download the sources). If a newer version is detected, the maintainer is warned. The notification email will be sent once a month. Soon a mantis entry will also be inserted. Declaring an "need for update bug". Since this script is still pretty new, it may have bugs. So feedback are welcomed :) I will add soon more features, like : . Sending email to maintainer with incomplete or invalid "upstream check information" in the makefile. So far i receive the email and will try to fix a few things in the coming days. This happens when either the MASTER_SITE or the regular expression used by uwatch are invalid . Sending an email asking the maintainer to configure uwatch information in the makefile (need to write some howtos before) . Sending an email asking the maintainer if they want to add there packages to gar if they are missing from svn . Sending an email to our beloved release master, notifying him that some package are in svn and GAR and have never been released :) Trygve, if you have time in the next weeks, we can look to a possibility of make this working together with Hudson.
