		Ask HN: Software Update RSS - does this exist?
		5 points by mdemare on Nov 18, 2009 \| hide \| past \| favorite \| 2 comments
		There are about 50-100 applications, libraries, gems and other software packages that I'm interested in. I'd like to receive updates through RSS whenever a new version of one of these packages is released, including release notes if available. Optionally I'd like to filter out minor updates/bugfixes for specific packages. Does something like this exist? For music there's Muspy, but I'm not aware of a solution for software.

I know a lot of mac software uses the Sparkle framework which checks (what is essentially) an RSS feed for updates.

As far as I know, nothing general like you're asking about though.
