Different Flavours of Planet Commandline //at 22:40 //by abe
Since there were quite some requests for a Planet Commandline feed without the microblogging feeds included, I splitted Planet Commandline into different flavours. I’m quite happy with that solution, because I must admit that the amount of microblogging postings in relation to normal blog postings was indeed higher than initially expected
So from now on Planet Commandline has a basic flavour at http://planet-commandline.org/ and one with the microblogging feeds (climagic and commandlinefu) included at http://planet-commandline.org/+snippets/.
For making this possible I hacked our Planet Venus wrapper to accept arbitary configuration snippets to be added at the end of the configuration as well as as sed-based modifications to the concatenated configuration before Planet Venus is run on them.
This also allowed me to create further flavours of Planet Commandline:
- +german where Beat Gätzi’s German-written Chrütertee blog has been moved to, and
- +emacs which adds Mickey Petersen’s Mastering Emacs to the list of included blogs.
I hope nobody minds this diversification of Planet Commandline.
Currently no combination of flavours is supported, but if there’s a
relevant demand for the one or the other combination of flavours I may
have a look if that can be automated, too.
