So I hacked up a quick and simple git2rss to replace my use of darcs2rss for publishing updates. I hardcoded a couple of Bent-linux-specific bits in there, if anybody else is actually interested in this, let me know, we can discuss how to peel 'em out. I like to read the back archives before posting to a list I've just subscribed to, but couldn't find a downloadable version of the git list. If anybody could point me to one, I'd appreciate it. -Bennett [1] Bent Linux probably isn't of interest to anybody else, it's my mid-life crisis project, sound bite "unix as I came to love hear in the early '80s, when she and I were both much younger, slimmer, and healthier". uClibc, static linking only, no dynamic loading, no i18n, nothing gui. Handy for building initrds, perhaps useful for embedded applications. Nobody but a total crank like me would use it as their favoured workstation OS. ``` ## Jakub Narebski, 2006-07-04 21:09 Subject: Re: git2rss --- publish changes from git-log via RSS Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/e8elej%244sa%241%40sea.gmane.org In-Reply-To: <20060704191135.GB10534@rahul.net> ``` Bennett Todd wrote: > Just switched Bent Linux[1] from darcs to git (darcs is sexy, but I > can build git; ghc defeats me).

Thanks. But I'm not sure it belongs there. If anybody else turns out to be interested, and we work out how to update it to pull out the Bent-specific stuff hardcoded in it, and document the result, then maybe. At best it might be an example someone could copy, if they wanted to publish an rss of git-log, with some hardwired assumptions about the log format and the archive structure. It's not based on darcs2rss, it's a complete rewrite, and much simpler since I used XML::RSS::SimpleGen. > BTW. gitweb includes RSS feed, see e.g.: > http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=git/git.git;a=rss > http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=git/git.git;a=opml Can it be used for offline generation? I don't run any CGIs on my webserver, I re-generate bent.xml whenever I push any updates. -Bennett ``` ## Jakub Narebski, 2006-07-07 18:38 Subject: Re: git2rss --- publish changes from git-log via RSS Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/e8m9m2%24m37%241%40sea.gmane.org In-Reply-To: <20060706125328.GA19414@rahul.net> ``` Bennett Todd wrote: > 2006-07-04T21:09:32 Jakub Narebski: >> BTW. gitweb includes RSS feed, see e.g.: >> http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=git/git.git;a=rss >> http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=git/git.git;a=opml > > Can it be used for offline generation?
