I've written some scripts about this: - fedora-extras-newest.py outputs on stdout a list of recently added packages (in extras). It uses owners.list from CVS to do so. - repogrep.py takes one repo metadata and keeps only the packages given on the command line. It creates a repodata dir with the usual metadata, and no actual rpm in it (only the metadata). Here's a way to use those scripts : ./fedora-extras-newest.py | xargs ./repogrep.py And that will create an extras dir with a repodata subdir, with only the selected packages. Then, we can run the other repo scripts on it, like repo-rss and repoview, which generate interesting output. I've submitted today a patch to add groups support (as in comps.xml) to repo-rss, so if it is included it will be very easy to create separate feeds for new packages in a category. See bug 191061. What's left to do is a script which sends the email reminder. Should be pretty easy. It should not be too buggy, please try that and tell me if there are things to change. Aurélien PS: the only reference implementation of metadata creation is in createrepo, right ? It would be nice to have a proper python module (in /usr/lib/python2.*/site-packages/repomd for this task in the future...) -- http://aurelien.bompard.org ~~~~ Jabber : abompard@xxxxxxxxx "Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.
