What is a watch file? Where is it defined and what exactly is it supposed to do?

Using build.o.o is always a bad idea for automated stuff, since we do not guarantee that the layout or
URL's are not changing.

/public is only intended to be used by remote OBS instances. So the api is also not guaranteed and stable.
I guess you want to know about source changes in some packages. Our offical api
to get notified by that is notify.opensuse.org (part of hermes).
