Bug 27833 – pears-1.2.ebuild - rss/rdf reader (New)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Shane Hathaway 2003-09-02 20:43:56 UTC]

From the web site:

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

It depends on Python and wxPython.  I suggest it be categorized as "net-www/pears".

The download URL may be unstable.  The author probably ought to add a version qualifier to the filename and post Pears on a service like Sourceforge.

The download and homepage URIs for Pears are now stable.  Also updated to the
most recent version.

Looks interesting ;-)

Bug-wranglers - this isn't a web-based application, so it's probably best
handled elsewhere.  Can you find another home for it please?

Thanks,
Stu

net-news project

yeah, maybe the bug-wrangler got confused with pears in php .. anyway, this
is an rss reading in wxpython, so i guess it should be assigned to python
.. although this looks pretty similar to net-www/straw

[Comment 7 Alastair Tse (RETIRED) 2003-11-23 04:36:59 UTC]

reassigning this to wxwindows because its  a wxwin app

Pears is getting pretty mature now, along with wxPython.  I suggest that
perhaps all the RSS aggregators and utilities belong in a new category, perhaps
"net-rss" instead of "net-www".

Thanks for the ebuild, Shane. Added to CVS.
