RSS on console

In search of a nice console GPL'ed RSS client, created this topic. I don't need just graphical functionality turned into ASCII text, just commandline.

Thanks.

I found this newsbeuter

But I cannot build it for the moment since the required stfl library doesn't compile. The problem comes from the ruby binding. If I deactivate it, it builds normally with python and perl bindings.

Another vote for snownews. It's just the thing a true slacker needs :)

I tried this SlackBuild too for newsbeuter but it fails because of ruby. The only solution I found was to pass FOUND_RUBY=0 to stfl and newsbeuter at compile time.

Thanks for snownews. But this was not what I need, because still it is not doing what I want:

Code:

user@host:~$ iwantlatestrss

hire it is:

--in bla bla:

  - new sw was released

  - bug fixed

  - archive updated

--in foobar:

  - search

  - hide

  - destroy

user@host:~$ iwantlatestrss | i | run | it | through | series | of | pipe | text | filters

With snownews currently it is not possible.

Then use wget and parse the XML that comes back.
