[B.A.T.M.A.N.] batman-adv release mailing list or RSS feed?

[Ralf Jung]

Hi all,

is there a mailing list or RSS feed dedicated to batman-adv releases?  We are
running latest upstream batman-adv release on a couple of servers, so we'd like
to know when we have to (manually) update our machines -- and currently the best
I can do is try to remember to check your website regularly, which of course
does not actually work in practice.

Kind regards,
Ralf

There are the news on the website [1] and also an atom feed is provided.  It 
is even possible to subscribe (watch) to the open-mesh.org project news on 
Redmine to receive mails when a new news was published.

Or you can uscan the the source download folder [3] like I do for batctl in 
Debian [4].

Or you could use the feeds feature of the github [5] and gitlab [6] mirrors.

Or a couple of guys come together and provide a repository with the newest 
package format you like (with DKMS or prebuild binary packages). And then use 
tools like (on debian) apticron + apt-listchanges + MTA to send mails to you 
whenever the server has to be updated. Of course, still means that someone has 
to follow the news but the rest only have to update their server.

Kind regards,
	Sven

*oops* I somehow missed that, I could swear when I went there yesterday there
was no RSS icon in my URL bar... seems like I was just blind, or maybe the
extension acted up.
Sorry for the noise, and thanks for the helpful and quick response!

Kind regards,
Ralf

Posted accidentally the wrong link. This should have been 
https://salsa.debian.org/ecsv-guest/batctl/blob/debian/sid/debian/watch

Kind regards,
