planet: check for inactive URLs and remove
Added by tampakrap over 7 years ago.
Updated over 4 years ago.
Description
It would be cool to have the following:
- a check for URLs that don't return 200
- log the URL, exit status and date it started
- if it happens for a week, automatically send a mail (or file a ticket with the user in CC)
- if no reply for a week, remove the blog automatically
Files
- Private changed from Yes to No
the first check could happen by just parsing the planet software logs
I don't have direct access to the planet.o.o server, so I wrote a little script to do the check. It isn't as fancy as in your dreams ;-) und needs a few minutes to download all feeds, but it should get the job done.
The script and today's report (36 broken feeds) are attached.
Someone should re-check the broken feeds in a few days ("check_feeds.sh broken-feeds-2017-03-18") to filter out temporary outages and then contact the affected users.
This is the update of the last tracking i did to the planet sites. Nothing has changed since the last time we spoke
There were some changes since then:
- linux301 wordpress com was taken over by a spammer, so I removed it
- blog.karlitschek.de moved, Frank sent a pull request with the new location
In some cases, it helps to shorten the link to the domain - most domains are still reachable, and maybe you can find the feed this way. See https://github.com/openSUSE/planet.opensuse.org/pull/54 for an example ;-)
For everything else - please give it a final test, and if it's still broken, send a pull request to remove the broken feeds. It doesn't make sense to keep them if they are broken.
At the same time, I'd recommend to send a mail to opensuse-project with the to-be-removed feeds - maybe some of the people notice that their old blog is mentioned, and send us an updated feed URL ;-)
- Status changed from New to Closed
- % Done changed from 0 to 100
Looks like nobody worked on this for >3 years.
I close this here in the hope that something happened in between. If not, please open issues in github
( https://github.com/openSUSE/planet.opensuse.org ), so this can be tracked by the ones who maintain the repo/service.

Well, yes and no ;-)
I still run my check script from time to time, try to fix broken feeds in obvious cases, mail their owners etc.
However, I don't do additional paperwork like updating this ticket ;-) therefore - thanks for finally closing it!
