RSS Feeds
There are two types of rss feeds in Archiva: new artifacts in repo feed and new versions of artifact feed.
* New Artifacts In Repository
The default url for this feed is: <<<http://[hostname]:[port]/archiva/rss/rss_feeds?repoId=[repositoryId]>>>
There are two ways to subscribe to this feed:
1. By copying the default url specified above and adding this to your feed reader. Just make sure to replace the <<<hostname>>>,
<<<port>>> and <<<repositoryId>>>. The <<<repositoryId>>> is the id of the Archiva repo which you want to monitor.
2. Via the feed icon in the Repositories page. Right click on the feed icon in the upper right hand corner of the repository
configuration and copy the link. Then add this link to your feed reader.
* New Versions of an Artifact
The default url for this feed is: <<<http://[hostname]:[port]/archiva/rss/rss_feeds?groupId=[groupId]&artifactId=[artifactId]>>>
You could subscribe to the feed the same way as specified in the New Artifacts In Repository section except that in #1, you
need to specify the <<<groupId>>> and <<<artifactId>>> instead of the <<<repositoryId>>>. And in #2, you need to go to the
Browse section. The rss feed icon is located in the artifactId level.
* Authentication
The authentication method used for the rss feeds is Http Basic Authentication. If your reader supports this, you would be
prompted for a username and password when you subscribe to the feed. Supply you Archiva account credentials for this. Take
note that only users with an Observer role for the specific repository would be able to subscribe to this feed.
