Hello,

We’re migrating from CVS to Subversion and I am looking  
for a Ruby post-commit hook to produce an RSS feed.

I found this November '05 post by Jamis,

[http://comox.textdrive.com/pipermail/budgetwise/2005-November/000117.html](http://comox.textdrive.com/pipermail/budgetwise/2005-November/000117.html)

but I can’t seem to find any code. (I can’t understand  
the Python version in SVN’s contrib/commit-hooks directory.)

Anyone?

Thanks,

---

tools/hook-scripts/commit-email.rb is what you looking  
for. This script not just sending an e-mail but also  
producing a RSS feed.

commit-email.rb   
“$REPOS” “$REV” removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid   
-r [http://YOUR.HOST/REPOSITORY/TOP/URI](http://YOUR.HOST/REPOSITORY/TOP/URI)   
–rss-path /PATH/TO/RSS.rdf   
–rss-uri [http://YOUR.HOST/URI/OF/RSS.rdf](http://YOUR.HOST/URI/OF/RSS.rdf)   
… and other options …

Thanks,

I’ll have another look at it, but I think it may be  
too general purpose for me.

I am looking for a single-purpose, 20-liner (maybe by using  
Weirich’s Builder?) that I’ll be able to understand within  
a couple minutes 3 years from now… 🙂

Here you go. This is exactly what you’re looking for. Hope you are  
well. Say hi to your mom for me!

Here is another one. It uses RSS::Maker.  
But… this has 190 lines…

Usage:  
% svn2rss.rb REPOS\_PATH REVISION   
–name YOUR\_REPOSITORY\_NAME\_OPTIONAL   
–repository-uri [http://YOUR.REPOSITORY/URI](http://YOUR.REPOSITORY/URI)   
–rss-path /OUTPUTTED/RSS/PATH.rdf   
–rss-uri [http://OUTPUTTED/RSS/URI.rdf](http://OUTPUTTED/RSS/URI.rdf)

Thanks,
