Security Updates
Hi,
As a user of Cassandra I'd like to be able to get notified when there are security releases so that I can get my installation patched ASAP. For feature and patch releases I'm happy to come and look at the web page or trawl through some mail archives, but I'd like for security releases to come and find me.
Is there a dedicated mailing list for this?
Or a dedicated list for just announcements without everyday chatter?
An RSS / atom feed would work just as well.
Thanks,
Rob Oxspring

Regarding security releases, nothing currently exists to notify users when
security related patches are released. At the moment I imagine
announcements would only be made in NEWS.txt or on the user mailing list...
but only if you're lucky.

I should also mention the dev@ mailing list - this is where the [VOTE]
emails are sent and you'd get an advanced heads up on upcoming releases,
along with the release emails that are sent to both user@ and dev@. The
dev@ traffic is generally lower than user@, so pretty easy to spot votes
& releases.

I usually install cron-apt for Ubuntu & Debian, forward and read root's
email to be notified of all system upgrades, including Cassandra.
There are likely other utilities for other operating systems, or just a
cron script that checks for system update & emails would work, too.
Also, it's possible to use something like urlwatch to look for changes
on http://cassandra.apache.org/download/ or any site, email out a
notification, etc. Maybe http://fetchrss.com/ or similar would work?
I think there are a multitude of immediate ways to do this, until there
is a site patch submitted to JIRA for RSS addition.
