Talk:Changelog

About "The [info]no_lj_ads folk are working on making an RSS feed of repository changes that won't be subject to the fickle behaviors of [info]changelog.". Since they switched to Trac, RSS feeds are available:

 * I was working on something that would parse the ViewCVS pages of the repositories. They're now returning 404's, so, that project is dead.
 * However, the "changelog" format of the trac repositories (livejournal and ljcom) seem to be awesome alternatives. They even include the   entries which is a plus.  That last bit is important because they're not posted to changelog .  The RSS feeds are not a good alternative because the  s are very abridged where the changelog versions contain the whole message.
 * My "nifty viewer" uses s2 to do a crappy job of parsing the entry text and is nowhere near as optimal a solution than parsing these changelog dumps.

 * The RSS feeds give us whole commit messages actually but do not list the files which have been modified. And no feed shows us the changes to the code so I'm sticking to the changelog comm. -- uw 04:24, 29 April 2007 (PDT)
