It is called OPML and I once tested it with a RSS\nreader and it was able to read the list of offered feeds in with a single\nrequest.\nJust click on the RSS pict in the footer and it will return the overview\nof the index page.

It appears to be just the way that gitweb\nworks - look at the \"git_rss\" function in the source:\n ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/gitweb/gitweb.cgi\n\nKay -- is there any chance of fixing this? I love reading the kernel\ncommits via RSS but this makes it a lot less usable than it could be.\nReally it should return all commits within, say, the last 36 hours so as\nlong as your aggregator polls reasonably often you won't miss anyhing.\n\nThe other thing on my wishlish is diffstat -- sometimes the commit messages\ncan be a little ambiguous and just adding what files were changed would\nhelp alot. For commits that touch a large number of files maybe it could\njust show the files that changed the most like:\n\n net/bar.c | 412 ++++++++++++-----\n drivers/char/foo.c | 354 +-------------\n arch/baz/boot.S | 99 ++++----\n [16 other files changed]\n\nOther than that though I really love gitweb and the RSS support is a\ngreat touch. It really makes tracking kernel commits painless.\n\n-Mitch\n"},{"id":"7138","messageId":"20050812202748.GA9696@vrfy.org","threadId":"1463","inReplyTo":"1123653220.1183.26.camel@azathoth.hellion.org.uk","subject":"Re: gitweb - feature request","fromName":"Kay Sievers","fromEmail":"kay.sievers@vrfy.org","sentAt":"2005-08-12T20:27:48Z","receivedAt":"2005-08-12T20:27:48Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"kay.sievers@vrfy.org","avatar":null},"body":"On Wed, Aug 10, 2005 at 06:53:40AM +0100, Ian Campbell wrote:\n> On Tue, 2005-08-09 at 21:58 +0200, Kay Sievers wrote:\n> \n> > I was hoping people that want stuff like this would use a RSS reader. :)\n> \n> I used to subscribe to the kernel RSS feed (using blam) but I found I\n> was only getting the most recent 20 commits, which wasn't much good when\n> a big batch went in because I would miss some.

This can\nbe as simple as a Makefile like:\n\n\tcommits.rss: $(GITDIR)/refs/heads/master\n\t\t/path/to/myperlscript.pl $(GITDIR) > commits.rss.NEW && chmod 444 commits.rss.NEW && mv commits.rss.NEW commits.rss\n\nand then call \"make -C /my/rss/dir -s -f /path/to/mymakefile.mk\" from cron\nevery minute.\n\nServing the rss from a static file has the big advantage that a well-behaved\naggregator will only request it if the modification date changed which saves\neveryone bandwidth.\n\n-Mitch\n"},{"id":"7167","messageId":"pan.2005.08.13.04.13.18.159941@smurf.noris.de","threadId":"1463","inReplyTo":"20050812211600.GA61428@gaz.sfgoth.com","subject":"Re: gitweb - feature request","fromName":"Matthias Urlichs","fromEmail":"smurf@smurf.noris.de","sentAt":"2005-08-13T04:13:19Z","receivedAt":"2005-08-13T04:13:19Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"matthias@urlichs.de","avatar":"https://gravatar.com/avatar/2708905af227313eba6f2b2ae0f7d0259b5ac5d71baef58fe5a13c699ce0bbf0?d=mp&s=160"},"body":"Hi, Mitchell Blank Jr wrote:\n\n> Is it really hard to just make it purely time-based (git-rev-list\n> --max-age)?
