I wrote a script to generate an Atom feed XML file with each new entry in this gemlog!
I ran into an annoying situation with LuaDist being horribly out of date with some of its packages, with LuaXML in particular.
The first search results online at the time of this writing are for an old LuaDist version of the library that only supports up to Lua 5.1, and another repo by the apparent author whose websites are dead.
The version on Luarocks also is out of date and broken, being one of these old forks.
The version I *did* find which eventually worked with Lua 5.4 is this one:
https://github.com/n1tehawk/LuaXML
Naturally it's not hosted on Luarocks though so I had to clone and build it myself though. Unexpectedly the build process went off without a hitch though, so I'm grateful for that.
Anyway, there should be new Atom entries now when I submit posts here.
Is there some kind of a standard cut-off 'updated' age after which syndicated posts are typically excluded from a document? I can't find any information on the topic, and I guess at this point I don't have enough content for it to matter. Could someone reach out and clue me in here?
