This is definately the best way to go. Dimitris Dimitriadis writes: > Please give me some pointers and I'll send the appropriate requests right > away.

SourceForge makes available nightly tarballs of the project's CVS repository; you can just fetch those in a cron job every day. Since each project gets a complete repository (including admin files), it's easy enough to set that up in a new location if necessary. Getting information out of the trackers may be another matter, but should be possible. Failing all else, screen-scraping can be used to collect the information and dump it into a database -- we used this approach with the older bug & patch managers to load a PostgresSQL database for ad hoc queries. Our code was never updated to the newer trackers SourceForge is using. -Fred -- Fred L. Drake, Jr. <fdrake at acm.org> PythonLabs at Digital Creations
