How can I get a RSS/ATOM feed for new package releases on launchpad?

How can I get a RSS/ATOM feed update if a project releases a new package?

Take the example of Back In Time.

I would like to get an update for their release of

“backintime” source package in Sid
Version 1.0.34-0.1 uploaded on 2014-01-07

Here're its rss feeds:

• Back In Time Announcements
• Bugs in Back In Time
• Branches for Back In Time
• Latest Revisions for Back In Time

I guess the last one is what You need.

I had the same requirement but for my case I have no RSS feed.

So I came out with some bash to check current versions,

PPA_REPO=""
curl -s $PPA_REPO \ |awk '/packages_list/,/lower-batch-nav/' \ |sed -e 's/<[^>]*>//g' \ |sed -e "s|)|) \n ---------------|g" \ |sed -e "s|Uploaded by|Uploaded by \n ===============|g" \ |sed -e '/^[[:space:]]*$/d' -e 's/^[[:space:]]*//'

Just change the PPA_REPO url acordingly to your needs.
