This has been an issue for me as well. Previously, I would setup a monitor for each plugin using a service. The one I've used most regularly is WatchThatPage (1). Now, I just monitor the RSS feed on a daily basis, but unfortunately there isn't a way to get an RSS feed for an individual project (2,3). I keep the source for each plugin on the server, and then run `svn up`, `python setup.py install` to update each plugin (first on a staging server to test, then on the main server). I've considered automating this more by: 1. Writing a script that checks whether there are remote changes to the svn branch and echoes the changesets that are not part of my work copy. 2. Running the check-for-updates script from cron and emailing the output to myself. 3. Adding a simple `update <projectname>` script that runs the 3 or 4 steps necessary to update a plugin from the working copy (i.e., `setup.py`, `trac-admin deploy`, `apache restart`).
