Subject: [Bioc-devel] RSS package feeds not updated

Hi,

some/many of the package build RSS feeds [1] don't receive updates.
  For
example,

   http://bioconductor.org/rss/build/packages/DESeq2.rss (from
   2014-11-04)

   http://bioconductor.org/rss/build/packages/BiocInstaller.rss (from
   2014-10-15)

report package builds as broken, although the current builds are
fine.

In contrast,

   http://bioconductor.org/rss/build/packages/GenomicRanges.rss

was recently updated (2014-12-01) and also contains the build report
of
both the devel and release branch (the broken ones listed above
don't).

Most of the packages that I checked manually seem to be
outdated/broken
- I guess there is a issue with the underlying feed system.


Thanks for the report. I've had a look. I've changed the system so it doesn't 
try to be smart about not updating feeds for packages that do not have issues.
This means all package feeds will be updated daily, whether there is an issue 
or not. Not sure if this will be annoying to feed users; we can revisit it if 
it's an issue.

I have to say, I liked the old system better. I have a feed for each of my packages in the bottom of my email program, so I could see at a glance if there was a problem with one of the packages (new message in the feed). Failure messages are a lot more noticeable if they're not buried among lots of "nothing to see here" messages.

Thanks,
