RSS for recent package updates

daedalus.mythos · 12-04-2014, 02:32 AM

This feels like a no-brainer.. but I've searched for quite a while and couldn't find anything.

Does anyone happen to know where I could find an RSS of the recently updated packages (ideally for testing), like Arch offers it (www.archlinux.org/feeds/packages/)?

I am aware of the testing new-package rss (packages.debian.org/testing/all/newpkg?format=rss)
But as the name suggests, this only features packages that were added to suite..

Thank you very much in advance!

Updates are packages as well.
Basically, all online-debian lists have an easy-to-click RSS button.

Just pick whatever you like.

I'm afraid I don't quite understand you. This site https://packages.debian.org/testing/...pkg?format=rss features only a few packages for the last 7 days, those can't be the only ones that were updated within the last week, or I am wrong?

Sadly, you are right. I wanted to have the same rss as you some time ago and I concluded that debian does not offer such feed

That is quite sad.. but thank you for letting me know.
As a non-satisfying substitute i use the packet update from distrowatch.org.. if you'd like to check it out http://distrowatch.com/news/dwp.xml

another thing i found when looking for a solution is apticron.. https://packages.debian.org/search?k...ll&section=all

Which sends you a system mail when new updates are available, including information about the packages.
