======= brss ======= BRss is an 'offline' RSS reader written in Python. It is a complete rewrite of another python RSS reader (Naufrago!), based on the concept of service/client. It uses the dbus library to enable communication between the service and clients. Features: --------- BRss consists of two applications: 1. brss-engine brss-engine is a dbus service. Its main features are: - periodically downloads feed articles, with their images - notify on updates - transparently replaces remote image tags on article request. - search articles 2. brss-reader brss-reader is a GTK+ client for brss-engine. - Connects to brss-engine - Keyboard feed and article navigation (à la Thunderbird) - full-screen article viewing - Article search engine INSTALL: -------- Reminder: BRss is still "alpha" software. Use at your own risks. BRss requires the following python modules to run. python-gobject python-feedparser python-sqlite3 python-dbus How to install this modules may vary depending on your distribution. In Archlinux run the following command as root: # pacman -S dbus-python python2-gobject python2-feedparser python-pysqlite gtk3 \ libwebkit3 libnotify gcc gettext glib2 1.
