+A `monitoring.yaml` file is included in the Packages repository directory for every Solus package to enable automatic scanning for new releases and security advisories.
 
 Checking for new releases is done by mapping the Solus package to an [Anitya](https://github.com/fedora-infra/anitya) ID. _Anitya_ is a Red Hat project, part of [release-monitoring.org](https://release-monitoring.org/)
 
 Checking for security advisories ([CVEs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Vulnerabilities_and_Exposures)), is done by mapping the Solus package to a _Common Platform Enumeration Name_ ([CPE](https://nvd.nist.gov/products/cpe)) from the National Vulnerability Database.
