Deprecate RSSLink

[crgeary]

I have added disableKinds = ["RSS"] to my configuration file, which does indeed disable RSS accross the site.

However the following snippet of HTML is still output to the page, even though its wrapped in the conditional check. I would have expected this to be false and for the HTML to not output.

{{ if .RSSLink }}
    <link href="{{ .RSSLink }}" title="{{ .Site.Title }}" type="application/rss+xml" rel="alternate">
{{ end }}

This then causes a 404.

You need to do something a la:

https://github.com/gohugoio/hugoDocs/blob/master/themes/gohugoioTheme/layouts/_default/baseof.html#L25

RSSLink will be deprecated and eventually removed.

Ah, thank you for the quick response 👍

The warning in 0.55 is slightly misleading (and this deprecation is not mentioned in the release notes):

WARN 2019/04/09 21:04:47 Page's .RSSLink is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Use the Output Format's link, e.g. something like:
    {{ with .OutputFormats.Get "RSS" }}{{ . RelPermalink }}{{ end }}.

When I use the recommended snippet I get this:

parse master failed: template: index.html:19: function "RelPermalink" not defined

It looks like the snippet in the warning message needs to be changed to this (no space between the . and RelPermalink):

{{ with .OutputFormats.Get "RSS" }}{{ .RelPermalink }}{{ end }}.
