I've manually regenerated the OPDS file and copied it to the above location, so at least things work again for now.

I just had a look at the logs. The OPDS update cron job started to fail in September because of out of memory errors.

The file was generated using a cron job. The cron job would be something like @weekly php /var/www/tool/bin/opds.php /var/www/tool/public/opds/fr.xml

However bin/opds.php is now broken because of the Symphony migration. A frist step would be to update it.

I've brought it up to date (sorry it got forgotten before!): https://github.com/wsexport/tool/pull/284

This new command is ./bin/console app:opds --lang <lang> --category <cat> where lang is the code and cat is the category with no namespace. By default it will output to public/opds/<lang>/<cat>.xml — does that sound ok?

Once that's sorted I'll set up the cronjob, and we can ask other wikis what categories they'd like to export. I wondered about using all equivalents of Catégorie:Bon pour export (via Wikidata), but it might be nice to let wikis ask for whatever category exports they want.

Thank you! It looks like a great plan!

I generated the OPDS for Cat%C3%A9gorie:Bon_pour_export on wsexport-test (here: https://wsexport-test.wmflabs.org/opds/fr/Bon_pour_export.xml).

I don't know much about the OPDS format, but it looks the same as the one on production from 23rd Nov. I loaded it into an Atom reader and it didn't seem to have a problem.
