feedvalidator warning - not fixed in ruby 1.8.6; fixed in ruby cvs snaps

hi samizdat-devel,

The feedvalidator:

  http://feedvalidator.org/

gives a warning about samizdat rss feeds because in /usr/lib/ruby/rss/image.rb

this line
  IMAGE_URI = 'http://web.resource.org/rss/1.0/modules/image/'

should be
  IMAGE_URI = 'http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/image/'


The second one (purl.org) redirects to the first one (web.resource.org),
but if you read it carefully, you'll see that the content recommends
using the purl.org address. The idea AFAIK is that the purl.org is more "permanent".


You can also see this discussion:
http://groups.google.com/group/feedvalidator-users/browse_thread/thread/d6c37c421ef5b79e


This error still exists in ruby-1.8.6:
ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/ruby-1.8.6.tar.gz


It has been corrected in the ruby snapshot i downloaded a few minutes ago:
ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/snapshot.tar.gz



Debian unstable only has ruby-1.8.2 at the moment. This is a bit worrying.
i would have thought that debian unstable was more up-to-date than that...


i don't suggest any change in samizdat, since in the loooooooong term,
the error will eventually disappear when the present ruby snapshot
gets into stable debian, and this error is only annoying, not major.


However, my personal suggestion is to hack your copy of
ruby/rss/image.rb with the correct URI if you want to get a clean
result from feedvalidator.


cheers
boud
