Dude I run SVN on windows and use viewvc.cgi , setting up a RSS feed on a windows box isn’t that hard.

As bbum said, most Windows developers don’t use SVN (which is foolish IMHO) as it’s dirt easy to use and cheap!

At first the learning curve for the older windows devs was a little nasty but once they ‘got it’ they LOVE SVN…. plus it pushes all of the backup requirements to me as the sysadmin

Cheers, get post btw thanks!

I am running a service that does this right now. Just go to: http://svnfeed.com. Here is the blog entry that I wrote about it: http://www.javarants.com/2007/09/22/track-subversion-svn-changes-with-an-rss-feed/

Hah — your percentages amuse me. In the subversion using world, the % of developers running a Unix variant is much greater. Most Windows developers I know use some god awful windows specific SCM system (their words, not mine) or something terribly expensive (which is what I mostly ran into when I did financial district consulting in NYC and Chicago).

In any case, there isn’t anything about this particular solution that couldn’t be done on Windows. You just need to install Python and set the paths up correctly.

For the other 99% of normal world that uses WINDOWS, is there a simple solution to set this up? Does anyone make or know of a solution that can just be installed on a windows box that runs apache and SVN? God-Forbid we make life easy instead of pure frustration to get this to work.

Insurrection (the worlds best web based svn viewer) also provides rss feeds. In many ways it's similar to trac; but without the bug tracking, and with more advanced code browsing features.
