Post/convert rss feeds to nntp servers or mbox files.
This is somewhat spiritually similar to gmakepod, only it's written in JS instead of Ruby.
Requires GNU Make 4+, curl, node 18.x.
Clone the repo, type npm i inside its dir.
Chose an 'umbrella' dir for your feeds, e.g., ~/rss; create
a file named rss.ini in that dir:
[http://queue.acm.org/rss/feeds/queuecontent.xml]
dest = comp
from = acmqueue <q@example.com>
[http://tenderlovemaking.com/atom.xml]
dest = comp
[https://www.reddit.com/user/eli-zaretskii/comments/.rss]
curl.opt = -A gmakerss/0.0.1
dest = emacs
dest means either an output name of the resultion mbox file, or a
newsgroup name. from is an optional override for the From header
in the resulting emails; it's handy when a feed doesn't contain enough
useful metadata. curl.opt is used to pass additional params to curl;
e.g., reddit often throws upon the default curl user-agent, hence we
provide another one in the above example.
Now, cd to ~/rss & type gmakerss. It won't create duplicate
emails, for it maintains a history file w/ message-ids.
$ tree --noreport
.
├── history.txt
├── rss
│ ├── comp
│ └── emacs
└── rss.ini
mutt -f rss/comp will view the mbox.
For help, type gmakerss help.
