Converting my old log entries to blog entries
I converted my old log entries, which originated from my original Docbook-based website, and were presently part of my static Sphinx-based website, over to my current PyBlosxom blog tonight, using the following script:
#! /usr/bin/env bash find 200? -type f ! -name \*~ ! -name \*-idx-*.rst | while read filename do newname="$(echo $filename | sed 's#/#-#g')" date="$(basename $newname .rst)" (echo $date; echo "#published $date 00:00:00"; echo "#tags Old Blog"; cat $filename) >/home/tkb/myblog/entries/oldblog/$newname done
I'll have to go through and fix uses of Sphinx-specific RST extensions, and I'll probably add real entry titles as I do so; in the meanwhile, if the blog entry title is a date I haven't updated the entry. I think this was pretty good for a ½ hour's work.
