yeah that's kinda what i was thinking, get a list of all sources, and
see if that lists "changes" (1) does anyone know of a better way to
check for changes ?
(2)  when RH update a package, is this the right site to check ?

Yeah, unfortunately my scripting skills are minimal, so _right now_
I've got no idea how I'd automatically just build *new* packages :-(

so am I barking up the right tree ?
