Ah, I see.

I was expecting that I can create a xml file for new version using
template from "0install.de-templates" (actually I have successfully
did that), then (somehow) merge it into Blender.xml of
"0install.de-feeds" and then post a pull request. ^__^

The problem with Blender is that besides regular version (2.77, 2.78,
etc) they publish bugfix versions (2.77a, 2.78a). Those bugfix
releases are generally more stable and recommended for use instead of
ones without letter in the version  number. I have modified
Blender.xml.template and posted a pull request regarding this -

Yes, I am interested to add new apps, they all open-source and mostly
animation-related (Synfig, Krita, OpenToonz, etc.). I am also would
like to provide update notifications.

I don't want to run my own feed server, because I have a lot of
projects already and I won't be able to maintain it regularly. Also, I
believe it is more comfortable for other users to find my feeds in
some well-known place.

Best Regards,
Konstantin
