I have made a new ebuild for rss2email, which is a Python script that lets you subscribe to a list of XML newsfeeds (RSS or Atom) and forward new items to you by email.

To get this ebuild into your local portage tree do:

# rsync -rztp --delete rsync://rsync.omz13.com/local-portage/net-news/rss2email /usr/local/portage/net-news

Please note that rss2email needs html2text, so you will need an ebuild for that too (i.e. dev-python/html2text.ebuild).

Enjoy!

I’ve spent the past few hours tearing my hair out, and all in the name of giving you, dear reader, a better Blog Experience or BX¹. What have I done? Well, I’ve given you category-oriented feeds. “Thanks no big deal, WordPress does that out-of-the-box?” you say. And I retort with “Yeah, but it wasn’t obvious, and now it is”.

(more…)

1. If you have never heard of BX before, don’t panic… its a term that I, your humble scribe, have coined to encompass the blog-viewing, feeding, and creating experience. [back]
