If you’ve been meaning to try pushing out feed updates but haven’t figured out the configuration, there’s a new configure-publisher console tool that will walk you through it. It asks you a few questions, calls keytool and openssl to do the crypto for you, and then emits a publisher.conf that’s ready to use with the FeedTree publishing tool.

You can read more about the configuration tool on the FeedTreePublisher wiki page, and you can fetch the latest version of the configuration tool directly from the Subversion repository.

By installing the publisher, you’ll ensure that FeedTree users see new feed entries the minute you publish them. By signing your feed, you ensure that those rapid updates can be verified to be authentic. Give it a try, and let us know if you have any problems by posting to the users list.
