Source tracking alternative to Freshmeat


I've been trying to find a source tracking website similar to Freshmeat so that I can keep an eye on version updates.

I need one because I am trying to build myself a Linux distro from scratch and it would really help if there was a single source where I could see software updates, and download from.

Thanks

no I didn't mean a software version control tool, I meant as a general user who installs programs from source, I would like to get regular updates on the latest version, so I can install from source when I want to accordingly.
