Keeping an eye on Drupal core

Heine — Sun, 29/07/2007 - 23:56

To more efficiently review code changes in Drupal I've decided to write a little bot that regularly reads the RSS feed of Drupal core commits. It then downloads the referenced patches and creates new content on this site (example) under the category Drupal Core.

As this is a taxonomy term, it comes with the Drupal benefit (tm) of an RSS feed, I now use to quickly review commits to core.

While "still in beta" I've already received the first feature request: to leave off the first patch hunk when it contains nothing more than the change to $Id$.

Thank you, this is an incredibly valuable resource. I've added your feed to the Drupal.org feeds handbook page.
