is there some page on opensuse.org where we can announce new packages? Not every OpenSuSE user is reading mailing lists (neither wants to do so). Would anyone be interested in using such page (ideally this would be a non-static page)? Good idea, but as a wiki page, it might quickly become a mess and if not everybody enters their new packages, it's usefulness would be limited.
It has to be editable only indirectly (e.g. by mail - c.f. below)
Wouldn't it be better to generate lists of recently added, updated or otherwise touched packages out of the build system's data? This would be much more accurate at no extra work for the packagers. A mail2rss setup for lists.opensuse.org is on my TODO. I just did not find any decent converter yet...
Gmane already offers this. See http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.linux.suse.opensuse.user for example and choose one of
RSS feeds:
1. All messages from the list, with excerpted texts. 2. Topics from the list, with excerpted texts. 3. All messages from the list, with complete texts. 4. Topics from the list, with complete texts.
OK, for example opensuse-commit@opensuse.org could be rss-ed. Yet what I wanted was something slightly different. Probably easiest way would be by having a separate mailing list where one can send alerts on updates of his projects, if these updates are ready for users. Together with some group keywords, this could supply the missing package grouping (nowadays only partly supplied by project/subproject division) in BS as well.
