I have almost 60 extensions from TracHack installed on my Trac system.
Keeping them up-to-date is a bit of work. I am curious if anyone has
settled on a good way to (1) find out which installed things have
updates available and (2) install updates in some easy fashion.

At first I thought that if Trac Hack had the AnnouncerPlugin installed,
this could solve much of the issue. That requires that there is a change
to the hack's page when an update is made. I suspect that the changes
listed at the bottom of the page are from a macro that queries this info
for the plugin. This means that the page itself (the wiki original text)
does not change. So in that case the AnnouncerPlugin would not be
activated.
Hi,
Rj’s description is the most useful approach. I just want to add it’s not necessary to update every day. The current plugin system is quite stable and working well as it is, and development speed is slow. So I think it’s enough to update every 3 - 6 months. Certain plugins have a commit rush sometimes, and you may trac this on the Trac-hacks timeline page every 2 weeks. Well, this is just my experience…
CU, F@lk
For good survey, it would be cool if the timeline page also displays the name of the plugin for the listed tickets and commits.

What I think we need is a timeline, with the ability to selectably display wiki page change and/or SVN repository changes, filtered by project. This would probably have to be an extension to the TracHacksPlugin..
