Wishlist newsboat

hello,

thx for cl. amazing.

please add (a) newsboat (bundle). it’s in the terminal & resource-friendly - compared to: feeds/thunderbird/rss-guard … et cetera.

… if possible.

greetings, mart

This is very good idea! I can’t build newsboat from source:
Checking for package stfl… not found
Checking for package json… not found

Rust packages cannot be bundled

Just did some practice and finally got it working through the “compilation way”:

Installing all the prerequisite

sudo swupd bundle-add ruby-basic rust-basic devpkg-libxml2 devpkg-ncurses devpkg-json-c wget devpkg-sqlite-autoconf devpkg-curl devpkg-openssl devpkg-nghttp2
sudo gem install asciidoctor

STFL compilation and installation

cd ~/Downloads
wget STFL - Structured Terminal Forms Language/Library - Claire's Homepage
tar xf stfl-0.24.tar.gz ; rm stfl-0.24.tar.gz
cd stfl-0.24/
mkdir ncursesw
cp /usr/include/ncurses.h ncursesw/
make -j4
sed -i ‘s/?= lib/?= lib64/g’ Makefile.cfg
sed -i ‘s/local//g’ Makefile.cfg
sudo make install

Finally Newsboat installation and compilation

cd ~/Downloads
git clone git://github.com/newsboat/newsboat.git
cd newsboat
make -j4
sudo make install

Two lines:

are amazing! Thanks a lot!
I could compile stfl. But newsboat could not see stfl…
Now all OK!

And after install newsboat need one more line:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libstfl.so.0.24 /usrl/lib64/libstfl.so.0

You may need to repeat the last line because the symlinks created inside /usr/lib64 is likely to be removed by swupd.
