Package: nrss Version: 3.9-1 Severity: normal Tags: patch Hi,
A Ubuntu user reported [0] the following bug on nrss: "nrss 0.3.9-1 gets an error parsing a feed encoded in ISO 8859-1 that contains international symbols. Sometimes only the first item get displayed if it contains no accented characters. I've tried this feed: http://rss.golem.de/rss.php?feed=RSS2.0 But Atom feed from the same site works flawlessly (it is encoded in UTF-8) http://rss.golem.de/rss.php?feed=ATOM1.0 The problem seems to be that XML_ParserCreate is called in parse.c with encoding set to "UTF-8". When called without explicitly set encoding, Expat honors the document encoding declaration. I've tested it with XML_ParserCreate(NULL) and that works." There is a patch on the bug that is reported to work. It would be good if it could be included in Debian and upstream (Ubuntu and Debian are currently in sync and it'd be nice to keep it that way) The patch can be found at [1].
