Hi,

here comes a first approach for a "package upgrade needed" notifier. It is 
in its very early stages I guess but as I hope it will be used by 
mainteners, I'd like it to be rather well adapted to your needs.
So please feedback on what you'd like to add / modify as it is.

Installation notes and use:

you'll need perl, Net::FTP, LWP::UserAgent and HTTP::Request::Common

create the /usr/pkg/etc/pkg_notify.list file containing the package list 
you want to be informed on, following this format :

$ cat /usr/pkg/etc/pkg_notify.list
wip/p5-Mail-Webmail-Gmail
wip/p5-WWW-Curl
net/wimon
archivers/foo

LOCALBASE and pkgsrc base directory are hardcoded as, respectively, 
/usr/pkg and /usr/pkgsrc, if you use a different hierarchy you may want to 
change them. Yes I will handle this :)

I mainly need you to check the behaviour on strangely named / versionned 
packages you maintain, by now I assume an archive has the following format 
:

$dist([^\/]+)$extract_sufx

with $dist = $1 from (.+)($major[\._]$minor.*)

and ($major, $minor) = split(/\./, $pkgversion)
and $pkgversion =~ s/.+\-([0-9_\.]+)[nb0-9]*$/$1/ # issued from PKGNAME

If you want to give it a try, the tool is available here: 
http://imil.net/NetBSD/pkg_notify

Of course it is subject to eavy changes..

Hope to hear from you soon

regards,
