Hi, it appears that Wireshark git mirror (http://http://code.wireshark.org/git/) already has RSS / Atom links (thanks for the hint Jakub ;) ). So whoever is interested can already subscribe to feeds. To get the full commit history you can use: http://code.wireshark.org/git/?p=wireshark;a=atom http://code.wireshark.org/git/?p=wireshark;a=rss And to follow a specific file, you can use the 'f' parameter: http://code.wireshark.org/git/?p=wireshark;a=atom;f=epan/dissectors/packet-gmr1_bcch.c http://code.wireshark.org/git/?p=wireshark;a=rss;f=epan/dissectors/packet-gmr1_bcch.c Regards, Pascal.
