[Xenomai-core] Planetplanet on the web site?

[Romain Lenglet]

Hi,

How about installing Planet Planet on the Xenomai.org website, to 
centralize news feeds about Xenomai? "Planet Xenomai"...
Planetplanet is a daemon in Python that can be run periodically 
using cron, to download several news feeds and fusion them into 
a single static HTML page.
http://www.planetplanet.org/

At least, I propose to register my blog. But I have no idea of 
how many people actually blog about Xenomai?!

Hi Romain !

For your information Xenomai website currently uses Joomla CMS framework.
The website is currently hosted by the fsffrance whose sys admin is really
careful about security issues. This means that we are advised to use debian
stable packages only. I don't know if such a package exists for Planet (I
don't find it via debian search engine.)

I need to check first if it is not possible to register news feeds directly
with Joomla. Maybe it offers this functionality as a module. I'm quite sure
though I am going to stick to joomla because I noticed that some browsers
(Konqueror for example) have problems displaying the website correctly !

By the way I encourage anyone having problems with Xenomai website to send
me a short email (brouchouse@domain.hid) with the problem(s) encountered and
the version of browser used.

Thanks for the idea though. I am going to take it into consideration and
will let you know... In the meantime it is always possible to reference any
blog (or website) about Xenomaiin the weblink section.

Regards,

As we are already at this topic, I have two new links to suggest:

http://www.captain.at/xenomai.php (lot's of useful tests, demos, etc.)
http://home.gna.org/xenomm (the upcoming C++ wrapper for Xenomai)

Please add, they deserve it. If someone has even more links, jump in!

No there is none yet.
To install it on Sarge, you must install packages python-feedparser and 
python.
Then, download the tarball from planetplanet's website, configure the 
templates, and make the python script run through cron. It generates static 
HTML pages, and is not a dynamic script, so there are little security risks, 
except that it must download the news feed files from the Internet to 
generate the pages.

I am using Konqueror 3.5.1, and I have no problem?!

OK thanks for the information and the arguments about security issues. I'm
going to take a look at it.
