So you want to have this as manually user setting unrelated to building ? Exactly. We can later add a mechanism to take over the attributes into building, but automatically picking upstream versions is too fragile, so adding a reporting is the first step.I can also imagine a project setting

Hm, I would go first to try to define URLs in our packages and try to automatically check for new versions, before I would add a manual option here.
The URL of packages is the home page not the upstream tar ball.
Right now we have the official place for it in package meta data. But I agree completely that it shouldn't be there. However, we might should sync the data initially. And it should not be named UpstreamTarballURL than IMHO. Maybe UpstreamHomepage ?
How is this supposed to work ? Everybody can replace the attribute to report that there is a new version ?
Yes, that was exactly the idea. We will have to experiment a bit, but I don't expect huge SPAM potential. Of course not having history for attributes can become a problem - but as I said: we need to experiment.
Okay, but when it is experimental, I don't want it in OBS: namespace. This is what really everybody in his own instance is getting and should be able to rely on (at least during 1.X timeline). -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH email: adrian@suse.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
