I don't think so, but you could always write a script to download a certain ebuild, and compare it to what is in your own portage, and to tell you if it had any changes.

You could try emerging 'app-portage/esearch' and the run esync which runs an emerge --sync and then eupdatedb (creates an index of your local portage tree.) # emerge -av app-portage/esearch # eupdatedb #(run once the create the index) put esync -n -s in crontab or whatever. The output will show new packages, updated packages. You can use grep or something similar to filter the output to match your wanted packages. btw. esearch is pretty fast. =) ## regular search with emerge ha henrik # time emerge -S browser Searching...

You could do this with a script run from cron. #!/bin/sh emerge sync /dev/null updates=$(emerge world -upvD) for p in xorg-x11 gnome add others; do if echo $updates | grep -q $p; then echo Update to $p available fi done If any listed packages are updated, the script with print them, and cron will mail this information to you.

Re: [gentoo-user] register to know certain event?
Thank you everyone for providing me answer to my initial question: wrote: I wish to: 1) if there is a new version of xorg-x11 gets stable on sparc (that is, keyword masked by 'sparc') I get email notification of that; 2) if there is a new version of gnome (in my case, gnome-2.10) gets stable on sparce, please let me know. Currently there is no such service can satisfy my requirment, but it's not difficult to setup such 'service' on my own host. Herik Andersson suggested that I should keep my portage up-to-date by setting up crontab to automatically do esync(1) and check if the packages I care about is updated, by using esearch (1) and a text filter. While Chirstoph Gysin suggested a common way of tracking ebuild development by reading RSS feeds http://packages.gentoo.org/feeds/ and Nick Rout also suggested that I can grab the webpage about certain ebuilds (e.g. http://packages.gentoo.org/packages/?category=x11-base;name=xorg-x11) and parse the text to get the info I care about. Finally I choose to add esync(1) to crontab, after esync(1) finished, scan if there is new ebuilds I care about by using esearch(1), if there is, use sendmail(1) to email the result of esearch to myself. After that is finished, I think if I further write some cgi scripts, I am almost ready to provide 'ebuild update notification service' :D And that's how this is solved.
