Now a question for Fink developers. Is it possible to include latest Changelog entrySure. We'd probably have to make our own namespace stuff since that's not part of the RSS spec.
when posting new releases? For example, here's a hypothetical package entry in the
RDF file:
<item rdf:about="http://fink.sourceforge.net/pdb/package.php/xyz";>
<title>xyz 1.06-1 (Simple program that does something)</title>
<link>http://fink.sourceforge.net/pdb/package.php/xyz</link>
<description>Simple program that does something. Fast and flexible! Lots of interesting features.</description>
<!-- What's new in this release? -->
<latest>This release fixes some annoying bug. Includes new feature that does some other magic.</latest>
<dc:date>2003-01-01T18:26:25-05:00</dc:date>
</item>
(In fact, if I may be so bold, I suggest breaking up <title> into something like:...this wouldn't work though, I think -- most RSS readers would only see "xyz", and would lose much of the useful information.
<title>xyz</title>
<latest_version>1.06-1</latest_version>
<one_liner> Simple program that does something</one_liner>
)
I've got no problems adding extra metadata for stuff that understands it, but reducing the stuff that's available through regular rss readers would be bad.
I'm sure we can come up with something, though.
