Why not just add support for a list of pkg names/globs to repo-rss and cut out the middle man? Alternatively why don't we take a step back and make a list of all the features we want and write one tool that'll handle all of those items w/o lots of intermediate steps. I'll start with the feature set: 1. new packages to extras - including owners.list knowledge 2. rss feed of the new packages 3. rss feed of the new packages per-comps.xml-based group what else? -sv -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
