[Freedos-devel] Is RSS dead?

2025-04-26 Thread Jerome Shidel via Freedos-devel
Hi All, Does anybody use RSS anymore? As far as I know, all the major web browsers (at least the ones I use regularly), dropped support for RSS many years ago. The main reason I ask is in regards to the upcoming FDRepo v3. The current FDRepo v2 has an RSS feed that is lists new package up

I think RSS is still used. I know that people access the RSS feed for some other websites where I write articles, and I subscribe to the RSS feed for several news websites. So it's definitely used. I don't know how many people use it, but the www.freedos.org website has an RSS feed for the news it
