Is there a good way to get notifications of updates to App Store apps you're distributing via Casper other than having them installed on your computer?

Mac App Store Update Notifications

Have a nose at the http://www.macupdate.com/ desktop app & subscription service.
Might give you something similar to the RSS feed.
+7If you open the application's .app folder, you'll find a _MASreceipt folder. Go ahead and remove that, and the software update scanning process will skip over that application.
+6Thanks, I wasn't aware of that, but will probably modify my installation package to remove the folder so the end users don't see the notice. What I was really hoping for, however, was an RSS feed, or something similar so I could be notified of any update to any of the applications we have on the corporate App Store account, to avoid having to check the App Store periodically.

+7@bentoms - When I search macupdate for "desktop app & subscription service" no results are displayed. Can you clarify?
+10@zmbarker You might want to have a look at a project called Autopkg. That paired with a Jenkins server makes a pretty nice package update service.
+24@denmoff][/url, Autopkg won't really work in most cases with Mac App Store apps. Only with items that have direct a download link from a vendor's website.
