Deprecating feeds

If you have your Gregarius publicly accessible from the Internet and indexed by Google, you could find yourself in a situation where you want to delete a feed you have been fetching, but don’t want visitors from search engines to get a nasty 404 error when they hit an item whose feed has been deleted.

For situations like these I’ve added a new feature which allows you to deprecate a feed of your feed-roll.

Deprecated feeds:

  • Won’t be fetched anymore when you update your feeds

  • Won’t show up on the feed side-column

Existing items from deprecated feeds:

  • Won’t show up on the front page

  • Will still be visible when accessed from a search-engine (e.g. via a direct hit on the item’s permalink)

  • Will still be returned by the search function

In other words: the content is there, it’s just hidden!
