Here's what exactly is wrong with each feed (including the news flash): http://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.freebsd.org%2Fnews%2Frss.xml http://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.freebsd.org%2Fsecurity%2Frss.xml http://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.freebsd.org%2Fsecurity%2Ferrata.xml Looks like just minor changes are needed. Thanks.
Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-www->gabor Hi, can you have a look at this please? It seems the RSS feed for security works fine within Thunderbird, but the validator indeed hints on the <rss tag. Thanks
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, It seems the rss feeds may have been formulated before the Atom standard, and now fail validation, thus newsreaders may refuse to parse. Here's a quick hack to convert the feed into the Atom/2005 format which passes validation and can be displayed in the newsreader. https://github.com/waitman/fixfeed - -- Waitman Gobble phone +1.510.830.7975 66D9 C739 3959 3C01 A85A 83D9 3082 CA65 BAF1 0193 http://www.da3m0n8t3r.com/BAF10193.pub.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJTFWdKAAoJEDCCymW68QGTb+oIAJSWC62tzXg8G+/XEAbYp6Aj iDTJp58TSbqyDttPKDL4H2WMNFoKvi/3k1d0ViOyGtorHKihd2sir+mDnLw08/Jz yWdWnpFhOuaOnV6zK6SkqkIPOiR3DOllMBRaMF1VxcqGFzy9pOvCc6K5devMLpyu A/isIkN2K3RufJ/s9J3ySqzuyBc3zI0BGAlETaMAkdWvi6huXCK9/aTre89qL/HW T0ouFc6BPQVK/IFlPc48NN4j327ltmR8w3TfZxDxapPTTJ53hNgAG+jvf6z+gCEo vth1ZVefkUhpHR9mMksLLKplfbsCv+Cnv3jg8fTyuL2OYgmZYA+wqXeyiecxLes= =CZjD -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

I've fixed a warning shown by the validator but I cannot reproduce any "hard error" in Chrome. Is it working now?

I have problems viewing sec. adv. and err. not. RSS feeds in firefox (35.0.1). Seems as if the links within xml files are incorrect (no protocol just "//security.FreeBSD.org/...").
batch change: For bugs that match the following - Status Is In progress AND - Untouched since 2018-01-01. AND - Affects Base System OR Documentation DO: Reset to open status. Note: I did a quick pass but if you are getting this email it might be worthwhile to double check to see if this bug ought to be closed.
The RSS feeds are working again. Don't know how or when this was fixed.
