tracking changes of the given packages in ABS tree periodically.
well, i need some kind of automation to track changes of the given packages in ABS tree, e.g. daily, and reporting to me if they happens.
it's natural to write a script that does exactly that, but maybe someone has a working solution yet, so i decided to ask here first.
so, any ready solution? thanks in advance.

ABS is updated daily (see note in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Build_System ), so there's no point in checking more often.

in fact, weekly appears to be more realistic for me 
anyway, doing it manually is a bad idea

I don't know what exactly are you trying to do, but you can e.g. visit the online package database and check the log: https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit … ckages/0ad
If ABS got updated, it means there's a new package is available, so you can use pacman to track it. If you're using ABS to customize some package, add it to IgnorePkg in pacman.conf.
