Downloads RSS Feed

While we’re on a roll with new RSS feeds (and because we like you all so much) (okay and to be completely honest about it–there was a long-time bug about this: bug 164390) we’ve rolled out a new feed for tracking project releases. It’s available from the downloads page as both an icon on the page and in the URL bar at the top of your (supported) browser. If you look at it you’ll see it’s fairly sparse in the number of releases. The data comes from the project-info.xml files that each project has published (or not). We’ve rolled all of that data into a new database and will be shortly releasing a portal component for projects to manage it. If you don’t see your release listed, the portal component will be the place to change that. In a few weeks. :)

    Are there newsgroup RSS feeds available? I can’t find them.

    Trying again..

    Chris, yeah it seems we should see if it’s possible to get them added to the newsportal somehow as they are kind of hard ot find. Here’s an example:

    http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/newline
    newsLists/news.eclipse.foundation/[newline]
    maillist.rss

    Blogger eats long urls, so remove the [newline] blocks to use that.

    I’ll open a bug on getting these into the newsportal.
