I'm wodering,

1. How can I ensure all feeds properly imported?
2. What is last update status of all or specific feed. So I can check healthy status of periodic update.

[dontdieych]

Thanks for this convenient tool! What I exactly looking for.

[dontdieych]

I've researched little bit more.

• fail to import 4 feeds

$ ag '^ {6}\("http' ~/.feeds2gmail.cache.rktd | wc -l
33
$ wc -l feeds
37 feeds

• runtime error when update feed but exit with 0

So IIUC there are two distinct problems here:

1. Some feeds aren't being parsed. I think this will be an on-going battle. I remember hearing that much of the work that Google Reader had to do, was dealing with buggy feed files. I wish Racket had a dedicated package for reading feeds -- maintained by someone who wanted to keep refining it to handle new examples of buggy feeds. Meanwhile I just have feeds.rkt. When I have time I'll take a look at these example feeds and see if I can change it to handle them, too.
2. It looks like an exn:fail exception is being caught, in the process of making the HTTP request. I'll take a look at this. I think, however, it probably is correct for feeds2gmail to catch the error and keep going. The next time feeds2gmail is run, it will try that server again. Do you disagree?

[greghendershott]

Oh, for 2, I think you mean you simply want it to exit with (say) 1 instead of 0, if there were any such server errors? And you would use that somehow? I could do that.

Personally, I used to run this on an hourly schedule, so I didn't really care what it returned each time, if just one RSS server had failed. But I guess you want to use it differently.

p.s. I don't actually use feeds2gmail myself anymore. I'm happy to fix a bug if I can quickly. I'd also welcome pull requests if you can fix anything.

[dontdieych]

It just exited rather than continuing next feed. I agree that it should be continue.
