Why only one RSS feed for new AUR packages?

AndyRTR · 2005-10-28 14:35:17

It would be nice to be informed by a RSS feed if any AUR package from supported and unsupported is updated.

dtw · 2005-10-28 15:31:23

I have to agree with that - one for new additions and one for updates seems the ideal solution to me

AndyRTR · 2005-11-12 10:28:04

Yes. A splitted RSS would be fine.

But it seems that not much users are reading the feeds. Or why is nobody else claiming that missing feature?

I don't think it's a "missing feature" - i'm fine with the feed as is, though it might be nice (I mainly pay attention to the batch emails).

I'm absolutly not fine with the actual feed.

Why? Well read this from the tur-mailinglist:

Hey guys,
I've been using the daily new package notification email and the RSS
feed to try to keep on top of what's been updated in the AUR so I can go
through and flag stuff.
Today, though, I noticed that it doesn't show all packages that have
recently been updated. The RSS feed in particular only shows the
genuinely new packages being submitted; none of the updates to
pre-existing packages. I suspect the "new package notification" email
works in much the same way.
My question is this: is there any way to keep informed about *every*
update to packages in the AUR, aside from relying on that really short
list on the main page?
Thanks,

Just to let you know that there are some people who are claiming this missing feature...

And yes, I know that this thread is a bit older, but it's still not fixed ot changed.

Well, color me embarrassed for not searching the forums before posting to the ML. Yeah, I put in my vote behind this as a 'feature request' - I think it'd make it much easier to keep up on packages that need to be flagged.

I would if I had known of the feed :shock:

/me goes to look for the feed

WillySilly · 2006-04-05 20:08:15

I concur with Cerebral

pbw · 2006-04-05 22:59:35

I'd really like this as well.

brotheris · 2006-04-06 05:39:47

Personalised (third) feed would also be nice. Similar way RSS from gmail works. Instead of sending emails, just generate personalised RSS stream out of packages that you pressed notify.

But maybe this is harder to implement for little gain.

Ofcourse it would be nice to have RSS feed for any updated package too

How about this:

Seems a bit out of date, the newest package in that feed is dated Wed, 27 Apr 2005..

Oh, wait, I see what you're doing there.. suggest an ?all=1 parameter to be passed to the existing feed if we want to see all packages. I like that.

That's because it's only a testing site for AUR and its database is rarely synced with the real AUR database.

I've been also thinking about further customization of the feed (unsupported only, community only, both, with/without safe flag) but is it really needed?

AndyRTR · 2006-05-10 07:23:50

Anything new with the official feed? I still only see new packages listed. Nowhere the tons of updates

trapdoor · 2006-05-10 07:38:32

I agree, we need this feed
