[request] Pears rss reader

Not sure how to make a PKGBUILD for it. Any help would be great.

http://project5.freezope.org/pears/index.html/

Pears is a three-pane newsfeed (RSS/RDF and Atom) aggregator which caches downloaded feeds for offline use. It has a clean, uncluttered interface, it's easy to use and works on Windows, Linux and MacOSX.

Requires wxPython.

Re: [request] Pears rss reader

This *should* be a real easy PKGBUILD... Just a matter of doing a depends on python and wxpython and then dumping the whole tarball into the $startdir/pkg/opt/pears/ dir (I think this is the right place for a package like this - but will double check.)  You can then optionally create a /usr/bin/pears script that calls "python /opt/pears/pears"

I'll be happy to do this for you in a little bit.... Right after I get my morning news web surfing fix outta the way.

Re: [request] Pears rss reader

Here you go.... I'll upload this to the AUR as soon as I confirm the *right* install location.  I am currently using /opt/$pkgname, but I'm thinking that /usr/share/$pkgname is probably a better choice.

pkgname=pears
pkgver=1.7
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Newsfeed (RSS/RDF and Atom) aggregator which caches downloaded feeds for offline use."
url="http://project5.freezope.org/pears/index.html/"
license=""
depends=('python>=2.2' 'wxpython>=2.5.1.5')

md5sums=('415892d06a261bec79a9dfa7d0186e46' '1aebe57ff9b0a4075d17b3642ff7bbef')

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
  mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/opt/$pkgname
  cp * $startdir/pkg/opt/$pkgname/

  mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/usr/bin
  cp ../pears $startdir/pkg/usr/bin/
}

and the script that goes into /usr/bin to make it work without changing the $PATH:

#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/python /opt/pears/pears.py $1

Enjoy!
