Create an RSS Feed of a Public SVN Repository

Posted on Jan 22, 2007

I caught a post on DZone about a site called Sublety that lets you create an RSS feed from any Subversion repository that has public access. For example, I created an RSS feed for my Illudium PU-36 Code Generator Project which is available at http://subtlety.errtheblog.com/O_o/4f.xml. You will notice that it lists any added or modified files, along with the revision number, the user name of the person who committed the file as well as any notes that were included in the commit. This seems like a really useful tool for keeping up with changes to open source projects - particularly for knowing what changes have been made to a bleeding edge release.

On a completely side note, if you are familiar with my code generator, you will notice a couple of recent revisions on that RSS feed. A couple of important issues with the generated code were fixed, so if you use the generator, you should pick up the changes (also updated the downloads on Google code and RIAForge).
