CVSspam

CVSspam is a nice addition to your CVS repository.

CVSspam sends nicely html-formatted email on every commit. You can get a quick overview of changes at a glance or scroll down and see changes line by line. Example of the email is here:

As a bonus, it is written in ruby.


P.S.: SVN-Notify is a similar tool for Subversion repositories.

Moving to MoveableType

To migrate Blogger entries to MT:

The export file from blogger must be in Unix format. You can remove ^M characters using vi:

To migrate blosxom entries to MT:

find ./ -name '*.txt' | xargs ./MakeMtImportEntries.py > import.dat
