Package: planet Version: 2.0-6 Severity: normal
The RSS specification (ie. http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/rss/rss.html#ltguidgtSubelementOfLtitemgt ) states that a guid defaults to being a perma-link unless isPermaLink="false" is specified. When supplied with an rss feed that contains <guid isPermaLink="false".., planet will output RSS which contains this (optional) guid tag, but the isPermaLink will have vanished. This causes feed-readers to attempt to use the guid as a permalink, (ie. a valid http URI), which it is not. Sample feed: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <rss version="2.0" xmlns:slash="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/"; xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/";> <channel> <title>Example</title> <link>http://example.com/</link> <description>foo</description> <item> <title>bar</title> <link>http://example.com/</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">Oi, planet, this isn't a URL!</guid> <description>blah</description> <pubDate>Sat, 10 May 2008 03:11:07 +0100</pubDate> </item> </channel> </rss> Sample output from planet (ie. rss20.xml): [...] <title>baz: bar</title> <guid>Oi, planet, this isn't a URL!</guid> <link>http://example.com/</link> [...] -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (700, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-6-xen-amd64 Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages planet depends on: ii debconf 1.5.11etch1 Debian configuration management sy ii lighttpd [httpd] 1.4.13-4etch8 A fast webserver with minimal memo ii python 2.4.4-2 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-support 0.7.7 automated rebuilding support for P planet recommends no packages. -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
