Hi,

on last CZ PACK meeting we have discussed the possibility of informing
users about updates in BS projects. It is desirable to have some way of
giving users a notice when some important changes take place (good
example may be moving GNOME:STABLE to newer version or renaming of a
project/package).

The best way would perhaps be creating some repository-bound feeds which
YaST could display when updating or installing. Also such feeds should
be accessible either through a separate mailing list (to not spoil
already existing ones) or better as a RSS/ATOM feed. Input into the
feeds should be both manual (for cases such as the aforementioned update
of a whole repository) and automatic (triggered e.g. by a successful
build of a new version of a package). Feed entries would need to have
some priority flag, so that UI doesn't annoy users with not-so-important
announcements.

Please fell free to comment...

Best regards
Petr Cerny
