I already know about the feeds for *all* module releases by core compatability, but would like to suggest something else.

I am waiting to see developments for a few specific modules (views, cck, especially waiting for the 6.x version), so what would be more natural than having a feed for CCK releases - it could be at the following URL: http://drupal.org/node/48429/release/feed.

Also, we'd need a module for this.

I am not sure if the performance issue is a real problem - the update.module already does check for revision numbers every cron run on numerous sites. The URL the update.module uses is http://updates.drupal.org/release-history/cck/6.x (to keep the example above) - I am sure this can be cached quite effectively.

Since this is already XML format, would it be too much of a trouble to make it an RSS feed?
Is this part of the project module? a pointer would be appreciated. If a patch would be written, do you think it will it be adopted?

Thanks!

This is a duplicate of #94138: RSS feeds for release nodes. As you suspected, this would need to be a part of the project module.

The good news is that the D6 version of the project module, which I am currently working on, will require views. I suspect that the pages listing all releases for a project (like the one at http://drupal.org/node/48429/release that you gave as an example earlier) will be created by views in the D6 version. Thus, it should be very simple to add an additional RSS feed display to the view.

If you're interested in helping out with project* and/or testing the D6 port or working on adding Views 2 support, please contact me via my contact tab or in IRC (I'm aclight there also).
