Add a GitHub workflow to monitor component updates
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Rather than using private IFTTT Applets that send mails to this
maintainer whenever a new version of a Git for Windows component was
released, let's use the power of GitHub workflows to make this process
publicly visible.

This workflow monitors the Atom/RSS feeds, and opens a ticket whenever a
new version was released.

Note: Bash sometimes releases multiple patched versions within a few
minutes of each other (i.e. 5.1p1 through 5.1p4, 5.0p15 and 5.0p16). The
MSYS2 runtime also has a similar system. We can address those patches as
a group, so we shouldn't get multiple issues about them.

Note further: We're not acting on newlib releases, OpenSSL alphas, Perl
release candidates or non-stable Perl releases. There's no need to open
issues about them.

name: Monitor component updates

# Git for Windows is a slightly modified subset of MSYS2. Some of its
# components are maintained by Git for Windows, others by MSYS2. To help
# keeping the former up to date, this workflow monitors the Atom/RSS feeds
# and opens new tickets for each new component version.
