Using RSS with Trac
Table of Contents
Several of the Trac modules support content syndication using the RSS (Really Simple Syndication) XML format. Using the RSS subscription feature in Trac, you can easily monitor progress of the project, a set of issues or even changes to a single file .
Trac supports RSS feeds in:
- TracTimeline -- Use the RSS feed to subscribe to project events.
Monitor overall project progress in your favorite RSS reader. - TracReports and TracQuery -- Allows syndication of report and ticket query results.
Be notified about important and relevant issue tickets. - TracBrowser -- Syndication of file changes.
Stay up to date with changes to a specific file or directory.
How to access RSS data
Anywhere in Trac where RSS is available, you should find a small orange XML icon, typically placed at the bottom of the page. Clicking the icon will access the RSS feed for that specific resource.
