Anitya is a release monitoring project.
Its goal is to regulary check if a project has made a new release. Originally developed within Fedora, this project creates tickets on the Fedora bugzilla when a new release is available.
Anitya provides a user-friendly interface to add or edit projects. New releases are announced on fedmsg and notifications can then be sent via FMN (the FedMsg Notifications service).

Here are some preliminary instructions about how to stand up your own instance of anitya. We'll use a virtualenv and a sqlite database and we'll install our dependencies from the Python Package Index (PyPI). None of these are best practices for a production instance, but they will do for development.
First, set up a virtualenv:
$ sudo yum install python-virtualenv $ virtualenv anitya-env $ source anitya-env/bin/activate
Issueing that last command should change your prompt to indicate that you are operating in an active virtualenv.
Next, install your dependencies:
(anitya-env)$ pip install -r requirements.txt
Create the database, by default it will be a sqlite database located at
/var/tmp/anitya-dev.sqlite:
(anitya-env)$ python createdb.py
If all goes well, you can start a development instance of the server by running:
(anitya-env)$ python runserver.py
Open your browser and visit http://localhost:5000 to check it out.
