Re: Security RSS icon

Hi Thomas
I don't use RSS to get the DSA info, but I have compared the current feeds with the proposed ones in an online viewer and I see the new ones as improvement, thanks!
Note that I only looked at feeds themselves, not at the code generating them.
I think that losing the translated feeds is a minor issue, because in addition of what you say, usually translations are published later, so the feed readers will get the new items in English anyway, and the "Read more" links send the reader to the web so they benefit of content negotiation if there is translation of that particular DSA.
I don't know if it would be nice to get feedback from a wider audience than the web team (not sure how many people use RSS readers among us). 

Kind regards,

Hi all,

I've reimplemented the generation of the RSS feeds. It would be nice
if you could try to use the new feeds and send some feedback.
The URL are
https://www.debian.org/security/newdsa.rdf
https://www.debian.org/security/newdsa-long.rdf

The new feeds now include links to the original announcement
mail. This is a feature we do not provide yet in the feeds.
The security feeds will only be available in english. But we do not
need translations, because except for french we only translate the title of the feed
chanel but neither the title nor content of the feed items.

This change is one more step to get rid of the need for manually
creating a web page for each DSA and DLA in the future.


The URLs the the new feeds are only for a test period. If everything
works, I will rename them to the dsa.XX.rdf and dsa-long.XX.rdf names,
so the users will get the new feeds without changing anything.

The new feeds are created by the script mk-dsa-dla-list
