nrss - ncurses rss reader

[machinebacon]

Sure there is newsbeuter, but we are open for everything, right?

nrss is in the repos, so download it as usually with APT:

sudo apt-get install nrss

Create a directory ~/.nrss

And the file ~/.nrss/config with following content, for example:

Code: Select all

default_rate "5"
default_show "30"
default_maxitems "50"


add "http://linuxbbq.org/bbs/feed.php?mode=news" "LinuxBBQ Upgrade Warnings"
add "http://rss.slashdot.org/Slashdot/slashdot" "Slashdot"
add "http://www.digg.com/rss/index.xml" "Digg All"
add "http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/rss/newsonline_world_edition/front_page/rss$
add "http://www.osnews.com/files/recent.xml" "OSNews"
add "http://distrowatch.com/news/dw.xml" "DistroWatch"

browser "/usr/bin/links2 %u"
browser_wait "1"

run nrss, use cursor up/down to navigate
Space to fold/unfold feeds or to open the selected item
C to fold/unfold *all* feeds
h for help
g goto URL
R refresh all
q to quit


have fun ;)

Saw this on the main page:

NRSS has been deprecated. Use Canto in the future. You will *not* be automatically forwarded.

That is true but anyway it does not matter so much, we still can use "unsupported" apps, like wicd, xchat, mplayer2 and many many more especially as long as they are in the Debian repos and get the job done.

Right. Stalled development can also mean: it does what it does, no more features to be added. As long as it is in the repos (or not) and it doesn't pose a security risk -> shrugs :)
