I would like to know about new software (rpms) with a general description as they become available in the major repos.
Currently, I run "yum --enablerepo=* list recent" in cron.daily, but it does not provide a description.
The following will cycle through the recently added packages, and then output the description for each package. You could then have this mailed to you, or what ever you do with your cron job.
yum -q list recent | cut -f 1 -d ' ' | grep -v "Recently" \ | xargs -L 1 yum -q info
