I've re-done the website for Meatoo using CherryPy and Cheetah. (It was using Rails).

If you're using the command-line client, please update to 0.0.5. The xml-rpc server's address has changed but there are no new features for the CLI.

I've added RSS feeds for Meatoo but I'm not too sure I've done them correctly. The main feed is updated every 12 hours when Freshmeat updates their XML file and should work fine with most RSS readers, I hope:

You can also subscribe by herd or maintainer email address, but these feeds are generated dynamically. I have no clue if this could pose a problem for some readers, but it works for me in Thunderbird and Pears. Use it like so:

http://gentooexperimental.org/meatoo/rss?herd=games
http://gentooexperimental.org/meatoo/rss?herd=whoever@gentoo.org

Rails is nice but I was spending too much time trying to figure out how to hack together a mail registration/authorization system. Since there is no mail server on gentooexperimental I hacked something up with nbsmtp and a gmail account. I'll open that up after some testing tommorow.

If you already know Python, getting started with CherryPy is dead simple.
