Release notifications #5

Open untitaker opened 8 years ago

untitaker commented 8 years ago

vdirsyncer and khal currently suggest that packagers subscribe to the GitHub tags feed for updates.

@part1zano wants a system that emails him. My concern is that in this case packagers can't really choose which notifications they recieve and which not. If I start mentioning the packaging team for each vdirsyncer release, people who are only responsible for khal are notified and vice-versa.

Are there any other preferences, @pimutils/packaging?

I currently use http://www.allthingsrss.com/rss2email/ to get an email notification when a new release is tagged. maybe that works for @part1zano

I try to avoid stressing packagers too much as I tend to push out releases almost evey month. This is why I'm sceptical about mentioning the team on every release. I probably should've done so for some bugfix releases.

I don't mind receiving more emails. Please choose whatever you prefer.

I get update notifications from Fedora's upstream monitoring system (which can also notify any other distro maintainers about any updates you're interested in), but for important updates (such as the data loss bug), an extra prod that a specific update is important would be nice.

There are plenty of apps that relay RSS feeds to emails. It sounds like a natural solution if someone wants email release notifications.

Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub[2], or mute the thread[3].

For me RSS and debian/watch is good enough. But I also don't have any issue with receiving extra email notification.

I wouldn't mind receiving release emails about all pimutils programs. Ideally I'd be packaging all of them ;) And I can always filter the mail if I think it's overwhelming.

Currently I look at my bookmarks of the tag feed periodically, but that requires me to remember to look.

I don't have a strong preference one way or the other.

I don't mind any notifications via email; moreover, I'd prefer to receive them. A mention on GitHub would be nice, for instance.
