FedoraJobs: Calls For Hacks

[Ivan Leong]

hi bill
got here a perl script that might fit the bill :)
Requires: Time::Local perl module and curl (or wget or HTTP:: perl module)

you also didn't specify the environment, ie, how often it runs, against 
which URL (the thread list 
<http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-announce-list/2004-January/thread.html>?), 
etc. so i made the script get the monthly thread list, parse for the 
list of msgs in that month, retrieve each msg in sequence, parse the 
html for a valid announcement. when all msgs have been parsed, it 
generates a html for each msg, and one RSS xml and one RSS_SECURITY xml.

let me know how i can further tailor the script to your evnironment.
