Package: whatsnewfm
Version: 0.7.0-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
(I was a little bit hesitant to mark this bug as grave, so feel free to bump
the severity
down if I'm the only one affected by this...)
For about a week now, the Freshmeat Newsletter has been empty after running
through
whatsnewfm.pl. For example, today:
This newsletter has been filtered by:
whatsnewfm.pl v0.7.0 2009-03-26
It contained 47 releases.
47 releases have been skipped as 'already seen'.
0 releases have been skipped as 'low score'.
0 releases are shown in this mail,
while 0 releases have been sent separately as 'hot'.
Your 'hot' database has 43 entries.
0 entries from your 'old' database have expired,
while 0 items were added.
Your 'old' database now has 4656 entries.
If I grab the original newsletter and take the project IDs and then:
grep projectid ~/.whatsnewfm.db
I can see that a few of the project releases should have been shown.
So it looks like whatsnewfm.pl currently eats all of the releases but thankfully
doesn't add them to the 'old' database.
Could this have been caused by a Perl upgrade of some sort in unstable?
Cheers,
Francois
