[JENKINS-3935] Atom feed (and RSS?) doesn't contain description

[jenkins-infra-bot]

It seems that the 'content' tag of the atom feed is meant to be filled out with
the build description (as indicated by atom.jelly from the source code):

<title>${h.xmlEscape(adapter.getEntryTitle(e))}</title>
href="${rootURL}${h.encode(adapter.getEntryUrl(e))}"/>
${adapter.getEntryID(e)}
${h.xsDate(adapter.getEntryTimestamp(e))}
${h.xsDate(adapter.getEntryTimestamp(e))}


${h.xmlEscape(desc)}

However - it is always empty. We're on v1.304 - but I didn't see anything in
subsequent change logs that would indicate that this is a bug that has been fixed.

Thanks

Raw content of original issue

It seems that the 'content' tag of the atom feed is meant to be filled out with
the build description (as indicated by atom.jelly from the source code):


    <j:forEach var="e" items="${entries}" >
      <entry>
        <title>${h.xmlEscape(adapter.getEntryTitle(e))}</title>
        <link rel="alternate" type="text/html"
href="${rootURL}${h.encode(adapter.getEntryUrl(e))}"/>
        <id>${adapter.getEntryID(e)}</id>
        <published>${h.xsDate(adapter.getEntryTimestamp(e))}</published>
        <updated>${h.xsDate(adapter.getEntryTimestamp(e))}</updated>
        <j:set var="desc" value="${adapter.getEntryDescription(e)}"/>
        <j:if test="${desc!=null}">
          <content>${h.xmlEscape(desc)}</content>
        </j:if>
      </entry>
    </j:forEach>

However - it is always empty. We're on v1.304 - but I didn't see anything in
