Hi. I've completed the new recent_list version. Most time I invested for backward compatibility. But it seems to work now for all uses I've found. Only change for the old invocations: Past events are not sorted chronological but reverse chronological as all other items. This is changed by intention.
If you want to test the new version, you can download it under http://www.lichtenheld.de/debian-www/recent_list.wml If you specify 'bydate' as format, you can use instead of the year in the first argument all specifications valid for parse_time (see documentation in file). Rest of documentation can be faulty due to massive changes in the last days. Why a new version? It can sort items by their dates and so you can specify a timeframe and not only a hard number of items to be shown. (can close: #156679: www.debian.org: Recent security advisory list too short.) And it supports also more than one date for security reports (can close: #133800: Sorting of security items hides "new" old bugs [merged with #161117, #161118]) One problem I saw just these days: For DSA 258 the specified date is February 10th. When you release a bug so late, I think you either must specify two dates or set it to the real release date. What do you think? Greetings, Frank After all the problems with the backward compatibility I had, I perhaps go for the events handling as a next task (see website-todo). Let's see. -- *** Frank Lichtenheld <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> *** *** http://www.djpig.de/ *** see also: - http://www.usta.de/ - http://fachschaft.physik.uni-karlsruhe.de/
