I've discovered there is a helper to aid in the parsing of RSS feeds on the Kohana framework.
Is there one to help create one?

Whip it up with the create()
method of the Feed
class in Kohana 3. You'll find the code of it at the following:
system/classes/kohana/feed.php
You'll need to define the channel information and its feed items as a minimum.
$info = array(
'title' => 'Dark into the Narwhal',
'pubDate' => date("D, d M Y H:i:s T"),
'description' => 'Eating bacon, taking names and leaving fortunes',
'link' => 'http://example.com/',
'copyright' => 'The Narwhal Peon',
'language' => 'en-us',
'ttl' => '7200',
);
$items = array(
array(
'title' => 'We journey with watermelon helmets',
'link' => 'blog/journey-with-watermelon-helmets',
'description' => 'Dawn breaks and the wind follows soon after.
We have found our supplies run low.',
),
//-- and the other posts you want to include
);
Then plug that data into the method to generate the XML:
$xml = Feed::create($info, $items);
Which will give you this when you echo
it out or pass it to the relevant view:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rss version="2.0">
<channel>
<title>Dark into the Narwhal</title>
<pubDate>Fri, 21 Dec 2012 13:32:42 EST</pubDate>
<description>Eating bacon, taking names and leaving fortunes</description>
<link>http://example.com/</link>
<copyright>The Narwhal Peon</copyright>
<language>en-us</language>
<ttl>7200</ttl>
<generator>KohanaPHP</generator>
<item>
<title>We journey with watermelon helmets</title>
<link>http://example.com/blog/journey-with-watermelon-helmets</link>
<description>Dawn breaks and the wind follows soon after.
We have found our supplies run low.</description>
</item>
<!-- the other posts will be here -->
</channel>
</rss>
