I have Google Desktop (v. 2) installed. I noticed that Drupal's RSS feed, http://www.drupal.org/node/feed gives an "Unsupported web clip version" error when I try to add it to Google's "Web clips" module.

I also noticed that a site I have running on an older version of Drupal, 4.5, does get parsed by Google's web clips. But my 4.6 version sites are not getting parsed by Google.

Of course, this could be a bug with Google, too.

I just ran my own RSS feed (4.6) and the Drupal Planet feed (Drupal HEAD) through the Feed Validator site.

http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fdrupal.org%2Fplanet%...

It complained about relative URLs in the Drupal Planet feed...said it's a valid, but the relative URLs are a problem.

The other thing is, with 4.6 we switched from RSS .9x to 2.0, right?

We've been finding that even with the "base" setting which is in the spec, there is very limited support for it. So, all URLs being passed out as RSS need to have the full path URLs.

See http://drupal.org/node/21924 -- with private files, podcasting (and all enclosures) are broken.

Wasn't there an issue with drupal core, about the formatting of the feed? I think something like this was fixed around 4.7 or D5.
If someone can confirm, this can be set as fixed.

Better yet: can you confirm that the feed is now recognized by Google Desktop ?
