First of all I'd like you to stop talking about the same subject on
different threads so we can keep every bit of the conversation in one
single place.

Other than that I don't feel like repeating, not even quoting, what I
already said on my previous message.

The current consensus is to notify as soon as the new version is detected.
I won't modify the behaviour unless a different consensus is reached.

I see your statement completely irrelevant.
But anyway: it might be possible that the source was available just
one minute or several hours or even days ago, but DEHS only runs
thanks to several cronjobs. So it is up to the moment DEHS checks the
watch file.

The testing migration emails are sent to the maintainer address and the PTS.

By the way, it may be my perception but might not be: please stop
being rude on the subject and investigate a little further:
It was *NOT* me who decided that the notification should be sent to
the summary tag. If you really consider these notifications useless
feel free to contact the PTS owners and talk about the possibility of
adding a new tag to the PTS as I originally suggested.

So just FYI, if you happen to send any other email in such a way like
you have been doing don't expect me to reply.
