Sorry, I meant the former.  I used to like going through Smart to see what packages are available, but without the RPM groupings it's harder to do in Yumex (plus Fedora is phasing them out).

If you mean ones we haven't known about before, I've occasionally
searched yum for keywords of things that might interest me hoping to
find something to do a job.

If you mean information about newly released packages (e.g. updates),
I'm signed up to the package-announce list.  Any time an update is
released, I get an email about it.  If the email doesn't provide
anything particularly descriptive about it (as too many don't), then I
can look at the packages website, or do a yum info packagename.

All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying
to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.

George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
