#2816 clean up bogon/broken planet feeds
Closed: Fixed None Opened 12 years ago by skvidal.

= phenomenon =
when running the planet generator w/o redirecting stderr to /dev/null you get A LOT of noise back about broken configs and missing blog feeds, forbidden locations, etc, etc.

= reason =
people edit things and forget to fix them when they change their blogs, etc.

= recommendation =
go through all the errors and notify the owners of the blogs and/or fix the issues.


Replying to [comment:1 pingou]:

== 404 errors ==

why not notify these users of their issues?

If you look at

http://people02.fedoraproject.org/people_planet.ini

you can see the username associated with all of the entries.

Attached is a script which I believe will do the work.

It parses the error file and for each error find the url and the associated FAS username to be able to send him an email.

Who should do the spamming? Shall I?

pingou - if you're comfortable doing the spamming, please do so. CC admin@fedoraproject.org

well done.

First round done:

Final version of the script (used for the first email round)
clean_planet.py

One week after, how is this doing ?

not a lot better but a little.

see attachment.

I propose to do a second run on Monday and to change the email to:

"""
Dear {0},
On June 8th, we contacted you about the following website which you registered on the Fedora planet:
{1}

This website (feed) is now returning an error ({2}).
Could you please correct this ?

If no action are taken by July 1st we will remove this feed from the planet.

Regards,
The Fedora Infrastructure team
"""

Output from this morning added.

I finally sent the same email as before as I didn't check if the same blogs were giving the same error.

I updated the script though to take into account the Fedora India case which has no fasname:
{{{
[http://fedora.or.id/index.php/feed/atom/]
name = Fedora Indonesia (Fedora-Id)
}}}

I might be an idea to ask them to put there a contact person (same for "Red Hat Magazine Feed", "Fedora University Tour", "Fedora Videos", "fedora daily package" ...).

New version of the clean_planet.py, takes into account possible absence of fasname
clean_planet.2.py

is there anything left to do on this issue for an apprentice? or should it be closed?? have we actually removed the non-functional blogs out of planet?

closing this as I think we're done.
