Still in cvs:
http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewcvs/upgradecheck/?root=fedora
It used to be run automatically after each Extras push, but when the
build system moved to koji and bodhi, this feature was killed. Probably
it was considered unimportant or a source of "spam". That's a problem
It's still important. Apparently not enough to hook into the
build/update systems at the moment though, because there are bigger fish
to fry.
Recently I've seen a comment somewhere that Josh Boyer seems to
have
a similar but different script somewhere. I don't know how it differs.
It hooks into koji to see if there are builds that are in koji but not
in a repo that would fix things. That feature is mostly only useable
during rawhide freezes.
