... and all these requests are valid, but my script is really too  
dumb for that. It was only meant as an interim solution until proper  
announcements where sent out by the build process.

So - could anyone write a new script? I don't think mine is fixable,  
it already does way more than originally intended.

You can see it on dev.laptop.org at ~bert/public_html/updatelogs.sh  
(cron runs it every 15 minutes). It scrapes build logs by http,  
generates the html logs at http://dev.laptop.org/~bert/joyride- 
pkgs.html and sends out mail for any new builds encountered.
