upstream release monitoring

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

Today I published my git repository of the tool I started to write to supply a upstream release monitoring service to Fedora. Some time ago MichaƂ Bentkowski wrote a tool called FEVer to do this, but he became unresposive and did not publish the full code of FEVer. Since I missed this service, I started to write a new tool, that can provide the same service, which is currently called “cnucnu”, because of the lack of a better name. It does not have any bugzilla reporting features yet, but they will be added eventually. At the time of this posting, it only supports to check all packages that are listed on the Fedora wiki page of FEVer and to test regular expressions for easy development of one for a new package.
