Is there a simple way how to do that? Like putting some html somewhere? (I really suck at web development... Smile

Hi Mirek,

There is many ways Smile

The simplest and least error prone IMO is what you suggested. Parsing svn log, producing static html that could be directly incorporated in to the web. Also when doing this, it would be simple to generate our own feed at the same time. The free service from feed43.com I used is pretty limited Smile

About the timing: For most of the pages, once per day is quite enough. For things like this more often would be better. The ultimate ( Wink

) solution in this case would be to keep this part of web content generation independent from the rest and run it from post commit hook. This approach gives you instant response for "news-like" content, while keeping the rest of the infrastructure intact.

I'll supply some code in few weeks time, I'm unfortunately quite busy now...

Honza

PS: I already have the most difficult part - a python script to parse svn logs. Original can be downloaded here. For my use in ubuntu packaging scripts I just added few more options and modified the output to conform to Debian policy manual.
