Description Saurabh Singhvi 2006-12-26 01:46:59 UTC
TheYoke is an ultra-simple, polite RSS aggregrator designed for use on the UNIX command line.

Features:

    * Easy CLI execution.
    * Written in PERL, so cross platform.
    * Easy setup - single executable.
    * Robust XML::RSS parser.
    * Simple configuration file(s) - a list of URLs.
    * Shows only the latest headlines.
    * Polite to web servers - utilises "Last-modified" and "ETag" headers.
    * Command line options to specify more or less feeds.
    * Free to download and use.

Kindly add to portage :)

thanks
Saurabh

seems this request hasn't turned into an ebuild yet. If you want to help with it, it's not that hard to write one: http://devmanual.gentoo.org/quickstart/index.html

If you need further help, feel free to ask on forums or #gentoo-dev-help or #gentoo-sunrise on irc (latter is also useful if you want to maintain the app yourself)

note: we're not turning you down for this request in any way, it's just that we don't have ressources to fix all of them. though if you're willing to help, it would be more than nice to do so, as that is what we definately need :)
