RSS Broken
by Magnus Bergmark on Thursday 03/Jan/2008, @00:16

I don't know if you have noticed, but the RSS feed is somewhat broken.
Each item have a body of "undefined" instead of the real message text. It has been like this for a while.

The Digest RSS feed works fine for me here with Akregator...

Can you explain more (preferably telling me what needs to be changed code-wise in the feed?)

Thanks,
Danny

I think he means there is no content in the rdf feed. Below is an extract from the feed:

<item>
<title>KDE Commit-Digest for 30th December 2007</title>
<link>http://dot.kde.org/1199338440/</link>
</item>
<item>

You're right that it works in Akregator (does that fetch the content from the URL?), but in other places e.g. Google /ig homepage the feed shows up as only links with no content. That means the only way to read the summary is to come to the dot. No biggie, but unusual.

My mistake, Akregator is using a different feed. It is the dotkdeorg.rdf which is contentless, while the updates.rdf feed contains the content. Hope that helps.

I believe he is speaking of the Dot's RDF feed. That feed is contentless while the Commit Digest's RSS feed actually shows the main paragraph as content.
