I believe you meant to write this to the list directly, I'm cc'ing it now. Basically, this depends on whether Junio finds it worth-while. :-) I think these requests do not pop up often, but that might mean that most people are simply discouraged right away and too shy to ask for it. One thing that comes on my mind would be to implement RSS feed of new tags to gitweb; this could supply the information about new releases easily. Any bored gitweb hacker willing to implement this? ;-) (Of course, it is a bit of pity that release announcements aren't part of the tag comment when Git already makes tag comments possible; that could be a part of the feed. Maybe with the feed as a nice use-case, Junio could get convinced to do that though, if it doesn't disrupt his release workflow too much.) -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis As in certain cults it is possible to kill a process if you know its true name. -- Ken Thompson and Dennis M.
