Thread: Problem with RRS Feed on planet.postgresql.org
Hi,
I hope this is the right place to report that the RSS feed on planet.postgresql.org is invalid.
The guid problem breaks the feed in my reader (doesn't show any content when I click on an item)
I've already tried contacting the Planet PostgreSQL team via email (planet@postgresql.org), and via twitter (@planetpostgres), but I got no reaction.
Best regards,
Jakob

We don't try to make our own. I guess one option would be to just overwrite all guids and generate our own - we could easily do that. The question is if that would remove some valuable information - such as people using them for de-dup or something. Does anybody have a clue and/or opinion on how that would work? > I've already tried contacting the Planet PostgreSQL team via email > (planet@postgresql.org), and via twitter (@planetpostgres), but I got no > reaction. planet@postgresql.org should've been the correct address. Your email must've been lost in a sea of others. Apologies for that. The twitter account is entirely automated with no person reading it at any point, so don't expect any responses there. -- Magnus HaganderMe: http://www.hagander.net/Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/
Thanks for your response! I think the problem aren't the guids themselves, just the "ispermalink=true" attribute. For example, this item: http://www.databasesoup.com/2013/08/94-commitfest-1-wrap-up.html has <guid isPermaLink="true">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7476449567742726187.post-6066898059205706249</guid> but the source RSS feed (i assume its this one: http://www.databasesoup.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss ) has <guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7476449567742726187.post-6066898059205706249</guid> So it seems that this property is mangled somewhere.
