Just looking at what is different between your feed and the others, maybe planet doesn't handle 301 redirects properly (just a random uninformed guess, probably wrong).

p.s. Anyone else find the "x-nanana: nocache" header that wordpress sends funny?

Ziko's blog seems to show the same symptoms as Arnomane's (at least the empty links). As I already said at <URI:http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Planet_Wikimedia#Problems>, I installed Planet 2.0 locally on my box and downloaded the configuration files from Subversion. Running that, the links were properly preserved.

So what is the version of Planet running on the server?

version = "2.0"

Thanks. Unfortunately, version seems to be set to 2.0 in the 2.0 release as well as in the nightly builds. The difference seems to lie in the PKG-INFO file.

Wait! :-) Diff'ing the nightly builds to the 2.0 release showed that the *only* change is the VERSION line PKG-INFO and some tweaks in examples/fancy/config.ini, both not very likely to cause any problems.

ATM, I'm out of guesses what could be wrong. I can't confirm the 301 issues, as both Arnomane's and Ziko's feeds return plain 200s. And my knowledge of Python doesn't extend as far as to assess whether there were recent significant changes in libraries used by Planet.

I get the following error message, no matter whether I'm using vanilla 2.0 or the nightly build.

If I run it at nightshade.toolserver.org (Linux; vanilla 2.0 + svn checkout + s!/usr/local/planet/wikimedia/en/!/home/timl/src/planet-en-data/!g), I get:

If I run the same (after cleaning up cache and output directory) on wolfsbane (Solaris):

My local linux box (Python 2.6) shows the warning about md5, but runs with no problems (except for the 404/500s).

Both nightshade and my local runs have correct links to <URI:http://zikoblog.wordpress.com/2010/06/07/dont-give-me-a-link-give-me-an-explanation/>.

Judging from the error messages, the tests in comment 6 were made using the English config, while this ticket is about problems with two blogs from the German planet.

We had another kind of problem on another blog aggregator, which was
solved by adding /feed/atom/ to the URL instead of just /feed/
Maybe that is worth trying?

planet apparently doesn't like wordpress.com's /feed/ format. /feed/atom works fine for arnomane, so I'm going to change all other configs to use /feed/atom for wordpress.com blogs.

Same problem is occurring for Sue Gardner's blog (http://suegardner.org/) which despite the domain is also hosted on wordpress.com. Could someone apply JeLuF's fix to that as well?
