Re: [REQUEST] rss-aware
I would be happy to, except it looks like a lot of it is Ubuntu-specfic, and it also states to install the script to your home directory, which is horrible practice when making PKGBUILDs. Of course, I could always change the script a little and move it to /usr/bin or something. 
What do you think?

Re: [REQUEST] rss-aware
Well notify-osd is in AUR. Maybe add it as a dependency?

Re: [REQUEST] rss-aware
Looks like it requires libindicator (not notify-osd), which is part of the Ayatana project. "Ugly" would be a good word to describe this on multiple levels.
This is as far as I go: http://gist.github.com/574670

Re: [REQUEST] rss-aware
A couple of things to mention before it should be uploaded to the AUR:
* Someone needs to package python-appindicator
* Tell me if I am missing a dependency. I ran through them rather quickly
* And of course, tell me if something screws up.

Okay...you win I forgot a TON!

EDIT: falconindy, you seem to have forgotten the:
rss_aware_path = os.path("~/.rss-aware/")line.

Re: [REQUEST] rss-aware
No I didn't
. Leaving rss_aware_path in the home directory means you don't need to be root to add feeds, and they're set per user.
Oh, I see.
echo "------------------------------------------"
echo "Add feed URLS to ~/.rss-aware/rssfeeds.txt"
echo "------------------------------------------"Last edited by cesura (2010-09-11 02:48:08)
