Title: (tcl) base updates ( svr api ) AKA any method exist to track updates ?
Post by: mocore on March 08, 2023, 02:44:32 AM

 for changes (on tinycorelinux.net ) in tcz repo  can be followed by checking the  below url's  on the server

 http://tinycorelinux.net/13.x/x86_64/tcz/updates/updatelist.txt
 http://tinycorelinux.net/14.x/x86_64/tcz/updates/

 dose any similar ( "stable" ) method exists for the "base system components"

 other than grepping the date from dirs on the server ( likely to  brake , if mirror uses a different server or config ,formatting ect )

 other alternative could be to somehow (? grep || ericchiang/pup ?) parse the 'Tiny Core Base' forum  "Child Boards"

 Alpha Releases - http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/board,33.0.html
 Release Candidate Testing - http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/board,22.0.html

 Final Releases - http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/board,31.0.html

 for final release 
 there all ready exists
 http://tinycorelinux.net/latest


 parsing the forum seams over kill  , which requires removing many layers of markup formatting to get to the relevant info

 something more akin to updatelist.txt  perhaps base-updates.txt seams more applicable
 where base-updates.txt like updatelist contains a log of base updates history
 giving a 'change log' like overview
  ???
 @* thoughts ?

The front page has short news for the base releases, long ones are in the forums you linked.
