ci.typo3.org

To easily sync extensions from forge.typo3.org to ci.typo3.org we ask for a XML feed where these values are shown:

• extension key
• title
• description
• repository (svn / git)
• author / email (optional, for notifications in the future?)

These values are then polled regularly by ci.typo3.org and converted into Build-Jobs.

Example¶

Given I am a authorized user with a valid auth key
And I open http://forge.typo3.org/projects/show/extensions/extension-list.atom?key=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Then I should see a XML structure like this

 1 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
 2 <feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
 3   <title>TYPO3 Extensions: Overview</title>

Another idea is, to poll the svn directly via ssh and get the data from ext_emconf.php, but as more and more developers are using git, I'd think the feed is more future proof.

What do you think? Is there a chance to integrate such a feed into forge.typo3.org?
