How do I track updates to forge modules?

[John Warburton]

Is there a way to "watch" modules and be notified if they are updated?

I can't see anything obvious in the documentation

Thanks

John

Anyone? Bueller?

Currently there is no easy way to "track" when modules are updated on
the Forge. One way I can think of to track updates to modules, but not
necessarlly releases to the Forge, would be to follow the project on
Github.

For example, if I wanted to track updates to the nginx module by
BenoitCattie

http://forge.puppetlabs.com/BenoitCattie/nginx

I could follow his Github repo here: http://github.com/BenoitCattie/puppet-nginx

I'm fully aware not everyone will have a corresponding github repo for
their module on the Forge, but so far this has been the convention.

This also sounds like a really good feature request which can be
opened here: https://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/module-site
