Freshmeat has XML versions of the projects that they have,
http://freshmeat.net/projects-xml/perl/perl.xml
http://freshmeat.net/projects-xml/apache/apache.xml

Are some examples. A client script that works out the versions from the local
package management and then goes and looks or some procmail based stuffed
and an auto emailer could cover what you what i reckon... If you had
something watching freshmeat then you wouldn't even need buyin for a lot of
projects, you'd get it for free.
 
After all its only code :)
