I would like to know about new software (rpms) with a general description as they become available in the major repos.
Is there a way to get an RSS feed?
Currently, I run "yum --enablerepo=* list recent" in cron.daily, but it does not provide a description.
I'm like a kid in a candy store with all this great free software. Thank you, by the way!

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

Most have an -announce mailing list. For CentOS, I use a procmail filter to put the package announcements for my version and arch in one Dovecot IMAP folder, and all the others in another folder.

Could I trouble you for a few examples/links?

You know that you can set filters for the announce list, so that you only get to see announcements for the archs you are interested in?
http://lists.centos.org/mailman/options/centos-announce - you have to login with your mail address and the password you chose for that list (or the one you have been given by the list).
No need to filter on your side >:)
Cheers,
Ralph
