https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-package-announce/2009-September/thread.html

Somehow I got to the parent folder clicked and found the right URL that doesn´t give a 404.
Good idea, that page (thread view of fedora-package-announce) is great and serves well for scrapping and finding the last version of any package!..

Thanks!

What I had in mind, and pehaps this would be good as a suggestion, is listing the kernel version contained in the CD, plus the latest kernel update available somewhere at the Release Notes. ie http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f11/en-US/ ?.

Something like:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fedora 11 ships with Kernel: 2.6.29
(Last update available: 2.6.30.5-43 , dated 2009-08-31)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The reason this came to mind is that I checked the table at  Distrowatch
http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=fedora

...and saw they do not keep kernel versions up to date (ie they list F11 as using 2.6.29-4).

That´s where the whole idea of doing a script to keep track of kernel version changes came to mind...
Well, just an idea...
