Description Chris Mayo 2010-08-28 11:24:28 UTC 
If two versions of a package are updated at the same time their entries in the packages feed get the same id. e.g.:

<span class="cpvstr">media-libs/mesa-7.8.2</span>
....
<id>http://packages.gentoo.org/package/media-libs/mesa?ts=2010-08-27T19:38:56Z</id>

<span class="cpvstr">media-libs/mesa-7.7.1</span>
...
<id>http://packages.gentoo.org/package/media-libs/mesa?ts=2010-08-27T19:38:56Z</id>

The feed is defined as "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"
and according to
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4287#section-4.2.6
'The "atom:id" element conveys a permanent, universally unique identifier for an entry or feed.'

This is simple patch, and for some reasons (id of existing items will be changed ).

No longer affects new codebase.
