Automated ruby changelog parsing (to report only new changes sincelast install)

[J. D.]

Hi,

What is the timezone used at ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/

Basically, I need to know if those timestamps are in the same timezone
used by the ruby changelog in cvs.

I suppose a true rubyist can probably whip up a ruby program in minutes
to automatically:

1. getting date/time from:
ruby --version

2. grab the latest 1.8 branch changelog from:
http://www.ruby-lang.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/ruby/ChangeLog

3. parsing and displaying ONLY the list of new changes contained latest
stable snapshot that are not in the currently installed ruby

4. optionally emailing the report (daily, weekly, whatever)

Yes, and it's JST, i.e. +9000.

Theres actually a bot called CIA that takes requests from the ruby cvs
and prints to the channel #ruby-talk on Freenode. I'm trying to get
cvs-admins to install the script locally. Theres a module named Ruby-Cvs
which someone(don't know who) recieved emailed from ruby-cvs@ and
submitted to the CIA bot. Now the script is down. You might be
interested in maybe a quick program with Ruby-Cvs t get any changes. I
used the CIA bot to get information on changes in HEAD, and ruby_1_8.
Bugs, expoits, new features, deleted features, and other interesting
details were submitted in the CVS logs.
