The <filename>distrodata</filename> class
provides for automatic checking for upstream recipe updates.
+ The class creates a comma-separated value (CSV) spreadsheet that
+ contains information about the recipes.
+ The information provides the <filename>distrodata</filename> and
+ <filename>distro_check</filename> tasks, which do upstream checking
+ and also verify if a package is used in multiple major distributions.
