This calls for something in /etc/crontab like: ( diff -N /usr/src/UPDATING ~/tmp/UPDATING || cp /usr/src/UPDATING ~/tmp/UPDATING ) What I us to get alerted when /usr/src/UPDATING gets changed. But then still I'm afraid that just getting a poudriere package set for just only bind99 is perhaps a bit too much. > nix gives you the option of the "In theory..." above about poudriere.
