What would be most useful for me is an RSS feed of changes to swdb.lst; I retrieve that file when doing a fresh package build, so will always be up-to-date when there's a new release of gnupg but not always between times. I haven't bothered building my own gateway to RSS for this; the setup was mostly "find the RSS feeds for projects I care about and add them", not, at the time I set it up, spending time on stuff for each project. Like it or not, RSS is the common language for "new event in a series limited to at most a few events a day but sometimes months between events" for stuff on the web. It's not just for desktop dedicated apps, but also integrations into other products. So the team chat product I use (closed source, not naming again) has channels, and I have #feed-blogposts, #feed-releases, #feed-security, #feed-status. Then in #feed-releases I just `/feed subscribe <URL>` for URLs for OpenSSL, GnuPg, Kubernetes, various programming languages, etc. If there were an RSS feed of swdb.lst then it would be easier to set it up as a trigger in a CI system to auto-build packages. All the sorts of things that _can_ be done without it, but life is just easier when the support is baked in for the common interchange format. -Phil _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
