Notices

I haven't encountered that yet. Try to:
- Open the X Terminal
- Type: FeedingIt (case sensitive)

If it fails to start, it should spew an error message. Copy/Paste or make a screenshot of it, here or in a private message, .
Thanks.

Version 0.2.3-1 is now out. It adds import/export of OPML files, a way to change the size of the text in the article listing, and a menu on the article page to enable horizontal scrolling (for wide pictures).

The .deb can be downloaded here:
https://garage.maemo.org/frs/?group_id=1202
I'll upload to extras-devel when it comes back up.

Great app Slocan, thanks! I like it way better than the built-in RSS reader.

Just installed it and it didn't run, same problem as evil_monkey? anyways, here's there error message from xterm

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "FeedingIt.py", line 39, in <module>
from portrait import FremantleRotation
File "/home/opt/FeedingIt/portrait.py", line 24, in <module>
import osso
ImportError: No module named osso

I don't have that problem here with the current version.

Could you implement a feature that parses possible RSS feeds from a site and you can choose one of them? For example you open FeedingIt and press on "Add new feed", there should be another button like "From web site" and then you only have to insert a web site and FeedingIt searches for "<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="maemo.org - Talk RSS Feed" href="external.php?type=RSS2" />" like entries and lists them. This would be helpful for sites which have RSS feeds but no button for it because it is not possible with MicroB to get the link for the RSS feed without a button.

Also I miss a feature to edit an URL. Currently you can only move or delete them...

Thanks

This is is error message. Tried deleting and reinstalling it, but it still doesn't work . Even the update did nothing

Thanks anyways

Thanks, I was missing a dependency. I just uploaded 0.2.3-2 in extras-devel to add it. Alternatively, you can install python-osso manually from the command line.

Although this would be possible, I think it'd be best to handle this as a browser add-on. Maybe check the feedhandler program from thp, it might do that already.

@Slocan

again, thanks, but again (alas) it chokes on the same error. could it be that i have exotic py packages installed due to other stuff i've gotten from extras-devel? sorry if it sounds like a stupid question but i'm a bit of a *nix noob lol.

how do i flush all python packages? i remember before re-flashing my phone to PR1.1 i manually installed via dpkg pyoptify 0.4 (i think) and since that sends things to the 2G partition which isn't touched by reflashing, could that be resulting in problems?

would running apt-get upgrade help? and how do i determine if i have broken dependencies on my system?

@sierrafoxtrot:
Is it erroring on the exact same line ("import osso")?
Optifying the python packages shouldn't have broken anything, unless they did some unsupported things, and broke the library.
You can see if you have python-osso already installed with:
apt-cache search python-osso
You can try to manually install python-osso:
apt-get install python-osso
and see what it says. I think "apt-get install pymaemo-optify" would also try to reinstall and optify the python libraries. But that's just a guess.

@Slocan

yup, the error message it chucks is line-identical.

apt-cache search python-osso says that i DO have it installed. (python-osso and python-osso-dev)

hang on, going to disable extras-devel and try and re-install python-osso ...

brb

ok, it trying to install results in invalid operation (obvious, since it's already installed). if i apt-get remove python-osso will it break anything?

thanks
