Downstream notifications?

Hi,
Is there an ATOM feed or similar available to get notified about new
releases in ASF as a whole?

I am now in an organization that on one hand trusts ASF releases, but still
require quite a lot of manual work to repackage for internal distribution.
All that could be automated at our end, and with some simple notification
mechanism, it could be fully automatic...

My guess is that downstream Linux distros could also be very happy with
such...

Does any of the stuff on the projects.a.o site help?

  https://projects.apache.org/releases.html

  https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/comdev/projects.apache.org/
    scripts/cronjobs/parsereleases.py

I use

http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/www-announce/?format=atom

which is barely the ATOM translation of mailbox archive for 
announce@apache.org

Naturally, this works as long as ALL projects announce their own 
releases there - as it should be according to

http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html#release-announcements

HTH

All releases are supposed to go under
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/ which is an svn
repository, so watching that should help.
