No, it was meant as a variable. > I don't think Anitya can help you monitor upstream because it doesn't > download package sources, just scrapes web pages. We could potentially > add a backend that does that, though. I don't know if there are many (or any) other upstream projects that treat their releases the same way - as far as versioning is concerned. Adding such a backend could be too much trouble for insignificant gains, but ultimately, that is up to you. At first I used to check the version inside the font itself and the one mentioned on the web page, but there have been several silent updates with no version bumps, so I have found checking the hashes to be the most reliable method. > You don't need to take any action, but I'd be grateful if you could > give me a list of package names so I can poke around their upstreams to > see how difficult adding a backend would be and also to see what > Anitya/the-new-hotness are currently trying to do. These are the ones for which I received the messages (the URL in their spec files did change since the last version, for a while they had their own web pages): gdouros-aegean-fonts gdouros-alexander-fonts gdouros-anaktoria-fonts gdouros-aroania-fonts gdouros-asea-fonts gdouros-avdira-fonts (the last 5 are part of the same upstream "Textfonts" package) and here is a list of all the gdouros-*-fonts: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/packages/?motif=gdouros* (same upstream, same troubles) Tanks for looking into that! _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
