Hello,
Are you aware of tools to help maintainers (or users) to detect that a new version of the software is out without clicking? For perl there is http://perl.biggerontheinside.net/packages/list but in general is there something available? I remember having seen something in debian I don't remember if it is debian specific. I also remember flowing things on this list, but I couldn't find anything on google.

I use a patched version of FEver for this; e.g. see
http://ensc.de/fedora/Makefile.common http://ensc.de/fedora/fever-check.py.txt http://ensc.de/fedora/fever.py.txt http://ensc.de/fedora/fd-checkver
Then:
1. put first three of them into ~/.fedora 2. latter one into ~/bin (and adjust $D to point to a tree with your packages) 3. add | include ~/.fedora/Makefile.common to your ~/.cvspkgrc 4. create 'verinfo' in every branch of your packages; for sample content see
http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/rpms/clamav/devel/?root=extras 5. execute 'make update-lastver' 6. create a cronjob like | 09 1-23/8 * * * $HOME/bin/fd-checkver | grep -v ^OK

Would it be worthwhile to package this up as part of a maintainer clientside toolset? If Im reading the installer in F9 correctly we've got a comps grouping aimed at Maintainer-ish tools.

fedora-packager is a package that contains tools for setting up your environment and checking things out of cvs. new tools are welcome.

Feel free to help

I don't have such file and I cannot anything related on the internet. Surely, I am missing something...
It's optionally (--> when it does not exist yet, create it); see common/Makefile.common:
| CVS_EXTRAS_RC := $(shell if test -f $(HOME)/.cvspkgsrc ; then echo $(HOME)/.cvspkgsrc ; fi) | ifdef CVS_EXTRAS_RC | include $(CVS_EXTRAS_RC) | endif
It is the place where you can also configure stuff like
| KOJI_FLAGS = --nowait

Ah! Be kind. It's still a little, um, alpha :)

Looks good :-) Any chance you can add EPEL to this page ?

Well, this is IMHO a very loud call for %track from rpm5.org. Already implemented there and IIRC in use by OpenPKG. But we like to re-invent the wheel, don't we? :)
