I just wanted to plug a couple of tools now available for automatic appcast creation.
The first is SparkleCaster, a Cocoa app by Adam Radestock. I’ve mentioned it on here before, but it’s made some progress—check it out and see if it fits your needs.
The second is new: a tutorial on using Rake to make appcasts. This is the kind of badassery that keeps me using Ruby.
Keep on rocking, folks! 1.5b2 soon.
Hi there. I'm Andy Matuschak, a computer science student at Caltech, but a software engineer at heart. I'm a long-time Cocoa programmer and a user experience nutcase and all that—you can read about what I've done or what I'm working on elsewhere.
I do have an untechy side, too. I'm a singer first and foremost, a passable pianist, and a okay-maybe-needs-more-experience actor. I love to teach. I love to write. But most of all, I'm quite helplessly in love with life.
Questions? Comments? Feel free to reach me by email or by AIM. I'll do my best to get back to you rapidly, but Caltech is a cruel mistress.

I’m getting a total of 24 errors and 6 warnings when trying to compile SparkleCaster.
error: DorMacKit/DotMacKit.h: No such file or directory
error: syntax error before “DMMemberAccount”
error: ‘CasterModel’ undeclared (first use in this function)
error: ‘caster’ undeclared (first use in this function)
The last two errors are reapeated several times (filling up to the total of 24).
This is obviously not the way it’s meant to be, is it? :-S
@Samuel: Me too. I downloaded both the DMG and the svn source, and neither work.
Anybody know what’s up?
Oh, goodness. It worked for me recently!
Sounds like in the first case that DotMacKit.framework needs to be included. I’ll maybe take a look at it soon.
The SVN version I downloaded has DotMacKit.framework included, but still fails to build.
Note this is only the sparklecaster Foundation tool. SparkleCaster seems to work fine.
You can either right-click on the SparkleCaster Target and click Build and Start, or delete the sparklecaster Target and then use the icons at the top of the Xcode window.
