      Hey again,
thanks but i got this error:

Unknown command: 'reporead'

Type 'manage.py help' for usage.

Hey all,
My name is Netanel Shine, and a few days ago i began the process of
building
an israeli community of archlinux. I used a git clone to set up the

site. (like some other great projects file that archlinux git have to
offer
like the wiki and the forums)
Everything went smoothly and just works great, except for one problem

the

package rss feeds.
The site address is: http://archlinux.org.il - under heavy
development.
The problem: As you all can see, the left rss box with the latest
updates
dont work and the list is empty. - because the system comes with an
integrated "packages" part (you can see it here:
http://archlinux.org.il/packages - not gonna use it), so the rss list
updates from here (i guess)
After discussions with some great people (in the irc) we concluded

the

rss box pull`s the data from the 'models.Package' object - that
connected
to
archlinux mainsite DB (Package.objects=PackageManager()), so if i dont
have
any access for the database - thats not gonna work.
All sorts of ideas were came up like bulding a script that will do the
job
or, a an iframe that will copy the box from the mainsite (but the

it

will not be in hebrew) and an idea to replace the table that has for
update
in pkg_updates. (with logic that pulls from the feed) - but thats not
easy
because the logic is a wrapped up in django MVC.
So dear friends, i turn to you for help - and I`m sure I would find
it.
Check out the reporead command baked into manage.py- you can very
easily populate the package DB yourself.
I have a small script I can send you for this, but I don't have it
handy at the moment. Let me know if that would be useful to you.

First of all, I sorry for seeing this message just now.
