Asp Forum - Rubyforge.org question

Hi,

Is there a possibility to monitor everything on Rubyforge? (trackers,
forums...) - I can monitor bugs if they are already there, but I would
like to monitor everything automatically - if I have a new bug report,
forum post, anything I would like to be notified.

Is this doable at the moment? (sorry I am brand new to RubyForge so
maybe I just overlooked something).

TIA,
Peter

Bug reports should (IIRC) get emailed to you automatically.

Forums may be monitored by hitting the 'monitor forum' button in each forum.
This will notify you every time a forum post is made.

Unfortunately I'm not seeing (at a glance) a 'monitor everything' bit.
If it helps, we're running a fairly vanilla GForge app, so you might
be able to find this out by searching the GForge documentation...

If you have further questions about RubyForge, the best place to post
them is the RubyForge forum[0]

Also, feel free to post over there if you find a solution to this
problem so that I can put it in the FAQ.

warm regards,
-greg

You may setup something via the brand new http://pipes.... and
make it freely available to everyone.

I'm pretty sure you have to set the trackers to email you. This is
covered in the RubyForge FAQ:

Wow, that's only 0.000002 cents or 0.00000002 dollars.

Sorry, could not resist, it reminded me of Verizonmath :).

Unfortunately, that's how things work at the moment. I put in a
feature request for this a while ago:

http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=731&group_id=5&am...

Tom submitted this to GForge and they agreed that it was a good idea.
However, I don't know if it was ever actually implemented.
