591511 - please change my planet.mozilla.org org feed URL

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Websites :: planet.mozilla.org, defect)

Description

[Dan Mosedale (:dmosedale, :dmose)]

I've now got my own blog set up, and I'd like Planet to point to that.  The feed for all posts with the "Mozilla" category is at:

http://redpuma.net/blog/?cat=9&feed=atom

I've imported all the posts from my old blog; I'm wondering if there's a possible gotcha here: would the Planet software refeed a bunch of my old posts that Planet readers have already seen?  Or is there some way to tell it to only aggregate from a certain date forwards?

If a date is needed, from yesterday forwards would be great.

Over in bug 591511, philor kindly offered the following tip:

Yes, it will treat them as the new posts that they are (and I think would even
if your import had retained the previous entry <atom:id> values like it should
have, since unfortunately treating <atom:id> as globally unique doesn't really
work).

You can cut down on some of the reprinting by adding "ignore_in_feed = updated"
to dmose's section of config.ini - the current feed claims that every post was
<atom:updated> on the 10th or 11th, when in fact that update was only of
interest to WordPress ("yay, we snagged another!") and not to either readers or
the author. That should wind up with only the most recent one or two fitting
into the first page.
