Subtlety: RSS For Your SVN

Hello folks,

As many of us are using Piston (or SVK) to manage our Rails plugins, I thought I'd put out a plug for my newest creation. It is Subtlety.

Subtlety takes a remote, public subversion repository (http:// or svn://) and gives you an RSS feed of the changes. That's it. Helpful if you're using an obscure plugin whose author doesn't keep a Trac or Rubyforge page and you want to stay abreast of changes.

Thanks. If you find any bugs or strangeness, feel free to e-mail me off-list.

Chris,

Cool, I was just thinking about building something like for our internal stuff. Any chance that you'll be releasing this?

Our team is using an irc window (drb+svn+rbot) to see changes across projects, but a RSS feed of our client work with more details in the body is something I'm hoping for. Sadly, the stuff isn't public so I can't use Subtlety.

Thanks,

Robby

A few people have expressed interest in extending Subtlety for their own devious purposes. I've updated the blog post with information on how to get the code and alternative options.

Enjoy.
