Hi!

I am trying to figure out, how to monitoring upstream projects. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upstream_Release_Monitoring I am using the drupal modules' RSS feed as URL. For example: Views module URL: http://drupal.org/node/38878/release/feed Regex: views-(.*?).tar.gz

It's working but there are duplicated matches, and I have another problem, there is different package name in Fedora. (Fedora package name: drupal6-views-2.12-2.el6, upstream: views-6.x-2.12.tar.gz

Any idea, how to fix these problem?

Actually, here's how you could do it. Just parse the HTML page for the project. This has two useful benefits:

1. It downloads a lot less information, just one short HTML page for

the individual project, as opposed to the big listing of everything in the files/projects/ area upstream.

2. By using the name of the module, you can make this more

programmatic, since you don't need to know a node number on drupal.org ahead of time.

So, for any project named <name>:

URL: http://drupal.org/project/<name> Regex: (?s)Recommended releases.*>6.x-(.*?)</a>.*Other releases

The (?s), by the way, accepts any character including newline, so this becomes a multiline regex.

Gets easier, this works just as well and takes better advantage of the non-greediness modifier:

Regex: (?s)Recommended releases.*?>6.x-([^<]*)
