Thread: events.rss broken?

Folks,

I subscribe to our feed events.rss.  But all I'm getting from it is 5
events from 2003 and no updates.   Is the feed broken, or is it aKgrator's
problem?    news.rss works fine.

I dunno.
http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.postgresql.org%2
Fevents.rss complains about one undefined item, but aggregators should
just ignore extra elements.

But - does anybody know where this element comes from? It does not
appear to be included in the definition for the namespace it claims to
come from....

I also tried a couple of different RSS readers and they all load it up.
Does it give you any indication of why it's not updating?

You get exactly what the events.rss file contains, which is 5 events
from 2003.  Apparently, the generation of that file is broken.

D'oh. I never checked the contents :-) Let me check what is actually
happening...

Should be fixed now. The script was listing all events, not just the
unfinished ones... Just needs some replication.

Comment about the <dc:location> tag still remains, though.
