Re: Security RSS icon



You didn't reply to the first part of my question - that the RSS icon no longer links to anything. That is probably not intentional.

Yes, I think you should consider renaming the new page. You are correct that with the correct user agent, you do indeed get the RSS / RDF feed. However, it's confusing and not very common to have the same URL for the feed as for the web page.

https://www.debian.org/security/dsa is still the RSS feed if you
download it for e.g. using wget. I guess you get the web page only if
you are using a browser, which sends some language negotiation information.

The problem seems to be that we now have a dsa.en.html and dsa.en.rdf
file in the directory and our apache send different files depending on
the client. So my naming of the new web page (dsa.wml) was choosen
badly.
We can easily rename dsa.wml and ../../lts/security/dla.wml
if it causes too many problems.
