It's only a small subset of packages (in the order of <50) that I need to monitor. The ideal solution would allow me to get a notification whenever a package that requires ghc to build is updated, but that's probably a bit much to hope for :) /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@xxxxxxxxxxxx jabber: magnus@xxxxxxxxxxxx twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus
