Yes... I know... I wrote my own version of an RSS reader written in ksh93 - see http://svn.genunix.org/repos/on/branches/ksh93/gisburn/prototype004/usr/src/lib/libshell/common/fun/rssread.ksh ... but IMO setting the barrier for "reading the news about opensolaris or opensolaris bugs" to "write your own RSS reader" is a little bit... uhm... high... :-) IMO email would be much better - it allows an easy access, more or less real-time notification and it would not "tax" the bug database by zillions of RSS clients which are polling the RSS feed every minute for updates (guess why bugzilla has no RSS feature enabled by default... guess it... =:-) ). ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) [EMAIL PROTECTED] \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 7950090 (;O/ \/ \O;) _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
