Ask HN: A website that lists the current version numbers of software? 3 points by trafficlight 13y ago ↗ HN I'd like to be notified when, say, a new version of nginx or MongoDB is released without having to check their websites every few days.<p>Does such a centralized service exist?
[–] itswitch 13y ago ↗ It shouldn't be that hard to make one. Poll HTML every N hours and et voila.Well, that's the cheap way.
[–] devb0x 13y ago ↗ why do you need to be on the latest?If you just want the latest source, why not cron a VCS pull every morning [–] trafficlight 13y ago ↗ I just want to see what's happening. In the case of nginx, I'd like to be notified when SPDY is mainlined.
