			rpmwatcher

This handy little Python script will assist you in making sure you
have the latest versions of RPMs for your Linux.  Given a set of
target web pages or FTP directories (described in a configuration
file), it will parse them for URLs pointing to RPMs and determine
which ones are newer than corresponding RPMs on your system.  It can
then either simply report on the update RPMs or download them.

The basic idea for this program came from Emilio Grimaldo's `rpmwatch'
Perl script, which he is withdrawing.  

Note: this script requiresa Python 1.5!
