Georg Bauer: Re: [PyCS-devel] bugfix

Hi!

And another bugfix: the RSS for the rss mode was totally broken. Some
weird mix of RSS 1.0 and RSS 2.0 with missing elements and stuff like
that :-)

I didn't notice the problem because the aggregator in PyDS has a _very_
liberal parser. It tries to parse anything that might make sense out of
the feed, regardless of any format or standard ... (it even groks
scriptingNews format ;-) )

It was so bad, it even upset the validator so that it's programm crashed
(although it looks like that was only a byproduct of the fact that
everything in the feed was in one long line without linefeeds). It now
validates and parses in NetNewsWire ...

bye, Georg

Ooops.

Ok, and I added the weblogTitle to the list of users, so one can
differentiate between same named users (for example I have a lot of
blogs on muensterland.org :-) )
