The depreciated gentoolkit program etcat had an option, versions, that |
| 24 |
listed all versions available for a package. Running that periodically |
| 25 |
should give you what you want. You might even customize it a little |
| 26 |
more by using a script to watch a particular version. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
I don't know whether the function has been picked up in a more modern |
| 29 |
program such as equery or not. I couldn't find it. |

|
| 31 |
etcat is still in /usr/share/doc/gentoolkit-0.2.2/depreciated/etcat/etcat |
