@node Cuirass Build Notifications
@subsection Cuirass Build Notifications
@cindex build event notifications, RSS feed
@cindex notifications, build events
Cuirass includes @acronym{RSS, Really Simple Syndication} feeds as one
of its features (@pxref{Notifications,,,cuirass}). Since
@url{https://ci.guix.gnu.org/, Berlin} runs an instance of Cuirass, this
feature can be used to keep track of recently broken or fixed packages
caused by changes pushed to the Guix git repository. Any RSS client can
be used. A good one, included with Emacs, is @xref{Gnus,,,gnus}. To
register the feed, copy its URL, then from the main Gnus buffer,
@samp{*Group*}, do the following:
@cindex Gnus, configuration to read CI RSS feeds
@cindex RSS feeds, Gnus configuration
@example
@kbd{G R} https://ci.guix.gnu.org/events/rss/?specification=master RET
Guix CI - master RET Build events for specification master. RET
@end example
@noindent
Then, back at the @samp{*Group*} buffer, press @kbd{s} to save the newly
added RSS group. As for any other Gnus group, you can update its
content by pressing the @kbd{g} key. You should now receive
notifications that read like:
@example
. [ ?: Cuirass ] Build tree-sitter-meson.aarch64-linux on master is fixed.
. [ ?: Cuirass ] Build rust-pbkdf2.aarch64-linux on master is fixed.
. [ ?: Cuirass ] Build rust-pbkdf2.x86_64-linux on master is fixed.
@end example
@noindent
where each RSS entry contains a link to the Cuirass build details page
of the associated build.
