Bug#612274: www.debian.org: RSS feed for News contains same timestamp for multiple entries posted on the same day



Package: www.debian.org
Severity: normal

The RSS feed at http://www.debian.org/News/news contains the same
timestamp for 2 news posted the same day.

This is somewhat annoying for tools like feed2omb which rely on the
timestamp of the last article they forwarded to decide whether something
needs to be forwarded or not. They will forward the first one and then
consider the second one to not be newer (this is because I don't allow
feed2omb to post 2 articles in the same run).

It would thus be nice to use different timestamps. Just increment the
timestamp arbitrarily in this situation.

Cheers,
