> I'm proud to announce that the Infrastructure team has finished deploying the
> first iteration of our replacement for the older, wiki-based Upstream Release
> Monitoring tools this week.  You can read about the details of the trio of
> systems[1] now used to coordinate upstream release monitoring on the same old
> wiki page.
> 
> Names of systems:
> 
> - pkgdb is the familiar Fedora Package DB https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb
>   It provides some flags used by the other systems.
> - anitya is the web app running at https://release-monitoring.org
>   It is responsible for scraping upstream release sites looking for new
>   releases.
> - the-new-hotness is a backend daemon that responds to fedmsg messages about
>   upstream releases.
> 
> The bugs filed in bugzilla look much the same as they did before, but for
> packagers there is one thing to note:  the process of getting your package(s)
> registered for upstream release monitoring has changed.  Please see the
> instructions[2] on the wiki page.
> 
> Old packages that were listed on the wiki page have been imported to
> release-monitoring.org and have had their monitoring flag set in pkgdb.  New
> packages added to Fedora now have their monitoring flag set to True by default
> and a script attempts to map them to an upstream project in
> release-monitoring.org automatically.
> 
> If you want new upstream releases monitored for your package(s), you must:
> 
> - Add the upstream project to anitya[3].
> - Map the upstream project to a Fedora package in anitya[3].
> - Enable the monitoring flag for that Fedora package in pkgdb2[4].
> 
> Note also that it is now possible to get notifications about upstream releases
> without bugs being filed in bugzilla.  To do this, add your projects to
> release-monitoring.org and configure your Fedora Notifications (FMN)[5] account
> while leaving the monitor flag set to False in pkgdb[4].
> 
> If you encounter bugs or have requests for enhancement, as always please do
> file them[6][7][8].. and if you're having problems with a particular package
> there is a place to list those[8] also on the wiki page.
