The <revised> tag isn't always updated for minor changes to a GLSA, for this reason another method is needed to check if the GLSA has changed. Seeing as it's not possible within the current framework to check the CVS revision number then and md5sum of the file should be stored in the new table. This does mean that the md5sums will need to be generated each time that the script runs, but as the files in question are pretty small it doesn't take very long to perform. The GLSA updater will run once a day to see if any of the GLSA's have changed, if they have then it'll edit the relevant post in the News & Announcements forum. |
