Thread: duplicate postings in planetpostgresql
I think we have another case like David Wheelers where old blog posts
are picking up in the feed as new entrys for the current date. This one
is on Frank Wiles blog. I think last time it was an issue with the feed,
not sure if thats the case here, can you look into it? If you need help
ping me on irc :-)

I'm not a Python guy (yet) but I think it is a "feature" of Planet code + the RSS feed itselt.I've posted a test entry (will delete it now) and it appeared at the top. As we add new people, they will appear at the top.

If > you need help ping me on irc :-) Hi Robert, I noticed this too and E-mailed Devrim about it just a few minutes ago. As far as I know my feed is ok and has the proper dates in it, as things show up just fine in RSS readers. The URL to the feed is: http://www.revsys.com/rss/blog/postgresql/index.xml This static file is generated hourly which I believe is the date/time planetpostgresql.org has listed as the date/time for all of my posts. I'm using Perl's XML::RSS module to generate the RSS and it doesn't appear to have a method of inserting a pub date/time per post. Not being an RSS expert I'm not sure if this is normal or not. If someone can point out what is wrong with my feed, if my feed is at fault, I'll get it corrected right away.

When I looked at the planetplanet code I didn't see where it contained the knowledge to deduce that entries were showing up in planetplanet for the first time vs. subsequent articles, which makes me suspect that this is a bug of sorts. Well, this coupled with knowing that other feeds (mine-s9y, niel-advogato) do seem to have publishing dates in them. Course I am not a python guy (yet) either so I could be reading the code wrong.

I don't know that your feed is busted (fwiw it does validate on its own merits), but when you generate your rss feed, are you specifying a date for the article? Have a look at http://search.cpan.org/~kellan/XML-RSS-1.05/lib/RSS.pm and the RSS 2.0 example, which contains both a pubDate and a lastBuildDate in it.
