Anyone knows what this cryptic message is trying to tell?
What kind of "update" does it refer to?
Is this a belated notification about 0.9.11 which is in koji

Yeah, looking at the message history for eicil helps show what
happened:
https://apps.fedoraproject.org/datagrepper/raw?package=eiciel
It looks like someone added eicil to
release-monitoring.org, which
triggered a check. But, like the message says, the pkgdb flag for
filing bugs new upstream release bugs in bugzilla is turned off for
eicil, so it didn't get any further than that.
Some vocabulary:
-
release-monitoring.org - the code for this is called 'anitya'
https://github.com/fedora-infra/anitya
it monitors upstream projects for new tarball releases and publishes
messages to a message bus when it finds them. It is intended to be
distro-agnostic.. so you'll find stuff other than Fedora stuff
there.
- the-new-hotness
https://github.com/fedora-infra/the-new-hotness
This is a Fedora-specific service running in the background in our
infrastructure. It listens for messages from anitya, and in
response it files bugs in bugzilla for package maintainers, letting
them know that a new upstream release is available. You can toggle
its behavior by turning some per-package flags on and off in pkgdb.
Does that help?
