The Planet Debian aggregator has confused me a bit –
it’s meant to be a “community” thing, and be about things that aren’t
directly Debian related, but on the other hand, I ramble on about boring
Australian political stuff that can be pretty boring. Up until now Planet
Debian has just snarfed my Debian section, but that means it misses out
on the not-Debian-specific but still relevant/interesting posts I put
up. So I got fed up tonight, and made up a new fake categories
plugin so I can say exactly what categories should be included. It’s
pretty cool, I think. It works by having a planetdebian.cat
file in your blosxom datadir that looks like:
copyright
debian
links
meta
travelblog
that just specifies the relevant categories. You access
it by asking for the planetdebian category, a la
http://azure.humbug.org.au/~aj/blog/planetdebian.
Flavours and such Just Work. Sweet.
