Plugins RSS feed no longer updating

plugins.jenkins.io

Summary

Possibly/probably related to #4971

As of yesterday (2026-02-03), the RSS feed for plugins:

http://feeds.feedburner.com/JenkinsPluginReleases

stopped updating.

I noticed this today because I normally watch the RSS feed while I'm on BOM duty as a trigger to go and make sure plugins are being processed. As you can see, the last item is kubernetes-credentials-provider, but we've had a few other BOM-related plugins processed since that one. You'll also note the last update of the feed was 2026-02-02T20:14:51+00:00.

Reproduction steps

No response

No idea how/when feedburner fetches plugins.jenkins.io, but it has just been updated cf #4976 (comment)

[lemeurherve]

Still no new entry in that RSS feed.

@darinpope do you have an idea how it has been setup, and/or by whom?

As far as I remember, the RSS was generated from www.jenkins.io. Ping @daniel-beck @olblak to help Hervé while I'm off: do you remember?

Looking for the URN from the feed, found https://github.com/jenkins-infra/jenkins.io/blob/b7ede805914be25c73f524a3e98f34e0e0cc486a/scripts/release.rss.rb.

Seems included in the Makefile and gets passed https://updates.jenkins.io/release-history.json which is up to date. I can take a look next week if someone else doesn't figure it out first.

Thanks Daniel!

make all locally generates an up to date releases.xml (calling make fetch), I've purged jenkins.io service on Fastly, and made a replay to cat releases.xml in trusted.ci.jenkins.io job, let's see.

Looking at other RSS feeds on jenkins.io, I've checked that jenkins.io/rss.xml is up to date, and got this error message while trying to access full-rss.xml 😅

I'll open an issue in jenkins.io repo for that later.
