Atom feed updates the "updated" date of posts on comments

The Atom feed (2k11 template) updates the <updated> field when a new comment is received. This makes Planet software bump the post up and that seems wrong.

Can the "update" date please only be changed when the post itself was updated?

The code responsible for this is
in the functions_comments.inc.php. There is some code there to limit how often it is changed, but I'm not sure why the last_modified value of an entry is changed at all because of someone commenting. Maybe because of a feature to embed comments or their count into the RSS feed?
You can configure this: The serendipity_config.inc.php sets the value to this:
Code: Select all
$serendipity['max_last_modified'] = 60 * 60 * 24 * 7;
Setting it to 0 or a small value like 1 should disable the feature. You can add that to your serendipity_config_local.inc.php.
But maybe we can disable this in future versions completely.
