+New bug: new posts aren't getting displayed (or cached for aggregation). After fixing his feed, David posted a new item today, and the aggregator is convinced there's nothing to do, whether by cronjob or webtrigger. I verified that it wasn't another problem with his feed by adding another of my ikiwiki's feed to the planet, running the aggregator, posting a new item, and running the aggregator again: no new item. --[[schmonz]]

+>> Crap, right, and my test update has since made it into the planet. His post still hasn't. So it must be something with David's feed again? A quick test with XML::Feed looks like it's parsing just fine: --[[schmonz]]
