For the benefit of others, the hinted at page is: https://packages.debian.org/unstable/newpkg It also exists for other suites, like backports: https://packages.debian.org/buster-backports/newpkg You can subscribe to these pages via RSS. So if you are dead set on mail you could set up an "RSS to mail" bridge, there are various included in Debian, but be warned that occasionally e.g. a new linux kernel will drown you in mails then. A lot easier to ignore (or even filter) those in your preferred RSS client (a multitude of those are included in Debian as well) – at least in my opinion (newsboat ftw!). Another interesting RSS feed for the opposite direction (= packages leaving Debian) is provided by the FTP masters btw: https://ftp-master.debian.org/rss/removals.rss (They also have some for in and out of NEW btw²) Best regards David Kalnischkies signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Is procmail still the advice to > people new to large amounts of emails? No maildrop? No sieve? Just as a fun fact, our own list software is based on procmail. Therefore procmail is still working somewhere. However, for private usage I would prefer sieve (unless you want to execute scripts and so on), otherwise maildrop (much cleaner syntax than procmail).
