Note that there alread is a script for something similar in the News/weekly folder, which is also integrated into the regular build process, so it as least possible. There's also something to generate a RSS feed for the security advisories. Oh, and while talking about that, and should you happen to look the weekly script: It currently has two bugs (for which I now found the time to "report" them ;) : 1) The RSS feed should be added to the corresponding web pages heads (That would be '<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS" href="...">' IIRC). 2) The RSS feed for the project news is currently broken, as the < and > signs of embedded html tags are escaped, too. For both problems I don't know how to proceed. Best Regards, Alexander -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
