Bug 44785 – gnome-blog 0.7 can't access blogger.com because of URL change

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Simon Smith 2004-03-15 16:51:53 UTC]

Blogger have changed the address to their XML-RPC gubbins which means that any attempt to look up blogs or post to a blog comes up with an error along the lines of "This is not a valid XML-RPC server... Server returned: Found.". Anyways the address is hardcoded into the file blogger_prefs.py and changing the value in gconf-editor doesnt make a difference. I have modified the file to the new URL and recompiled and it works fine. I dont have a clue about diff files or patchs but can tell you its on line 125 in the blogger_prefs.py. It wants to change from:
  url = "http://plant.blogger.com/api/RPC2"
to
  url = "http://www.blogger.com/api/RPC2"

Maybe someone could knock up a -r1 ebuild or something like that. Hope this helps,

Simon
