Hmm. I didn't know about that checker. I have a script I use to check for updates for my ports. It uses a (slightly) more sophisticated method for version checks. I plan to release the script in a few days (time permitting), once I've made it generic enough for general use. If there's enough interest, I would be happy to run it as a service instead. -- Shaun Amott [ PGP: 0x6B387A9A ] Scientia Est Potentia.
