Package release announce

[Cédric Krier]

Hi,

The package release announce on tryton-...@googlegroups.com relies
on rss2email [1] and farmhouse [2], a service that B2CK is running to
generate RSS feeds.
farmhouse relies on the XML-RPC API of the now legacy PyPI website. But
it is going to be deprecated [3]. There is no planned date yet but I
think it is better to act before.
There is a service that provides also RSS feed of packages on PyPI (and
also npm): https://libraries.io/
It is based on AGPL code: https://github.com/librariesio
I think we could use this feed instead of farmhouse.
Here is an example of the RSS feed: https://libraries.io/pypi/trytond/versions.atom
The only different is about the text and title. It is limited to just
the version number. So the email will contain only the version number,
the sender name will be "<package> versions - Libraries.io" and the link
will point to libraries.io page.
But I think it is only minor changes compare to the benefit of not
having to run farmhouse and have continuous plan after the close of
XML-RPC API.

Looks as a good plan for me.

Well it did not take long, it seems that the XML-RPC API does not work
anymore.

Feeds have been changed.
