Description Ed Merks

2020-01-09 00:48:18 EST

I.e., this URL yields a 404:

http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/epp-dev/maillist.rss

I think it's a general problem because the RSS feed link for this doesn't work either:

https://accounts.eclipse.org/mailing-list/platform-dev

It looks like some redirection is involved, but I've not been able to determine what the correct new improved URL for the feed really should be and of course each mailing list archive page itself should provide that link.

D'oh, I forgot to add that config section to the archiver.  I've added it and will remove the current archives to force the archiver to regenerate the rss for all lists.  This is required as without this step only updated lists would have rss feeds.

Unfortunately this specific feed does not validate:

https://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fdev.eclipse.org%2Fmhonarc%2Flists%2Fepp-dev%2Fmaillist.rss

I think the worst (show stopping) problem is this:

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Viele Grüße,Dennis Hübner _______________________________________________ epp-dev mailing list epp-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx To change your delivery options, retrieve your password, or unsubscribe from this list, visit https://www.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/ep...]></content:encoded>

Here the closing ]> should be ]]>.

Perhaps something is shortening the string and is removing part of the closing terminating "]]>"?

I've tweaked the template and feeds seem to be validating:

https://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eclipse.org%2Fmhonarc%2Flists%2Ftycho-dev%2Fmaillist.rss

This should filter out to lists as they update.

This specific one still has an error:

dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/epp-dev/maillist.rss

Specifically this:

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Viele Grüße,Dennis Hübner _______________________________________________ epp-dev mailing list epp-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx To change your delivery options, retrieve your password, or unsubscribe from this list, visit https://www.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/ep...]></content:encoded>

		<author>rschnekenburger@xxxxxxx (Remi Schnekenburger)</author>
	</item>

Where <![CDATA[ is terminated by ep...]> and not ep...]]>.

The link you're using is to dev.eclipse.org which is out of date, as these have been moved to www.eclipse.org.

The webdev team has updated the URL on the mailing list description pages, and while that patch waits to go live I've added a rewrite rule on dev to redirect things.

hello,
i got the problem at the page:
https://accounts.eclipse.org/mailing-list/photran

where the given feed is:
http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/photran/maillist.rss

this feed is refused par Thunderbird 68

if i replace dev by www, the error is the same. What is the correct url?

Thanks

I'm not able to replicate this.  Visiting the mailing list info page has the correct www URL for the RSS feed, and it renders correctly in Akregator.
