# gmakerss

Post/convert rss feeds to nntp servers or mbox files.

This is somewhat spiritually similar to

[gmakepod](https://github.com/gromnitsky/gmakepod), only it's written

in JS instead of Ruby.

## Setup

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 

[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`.
