RSS

Rsstail

We are going to use rsstail to retrieve our FriendTimeLine. It’s a small software that read a RSS (or an atom feed) like a tail -f. But, in rsstail default formating, the url and the title of the RSS item are put on 2 lines instead of one. I don’t like that, so I patch rsstail’s source code, here is the diff (yes, this is optional):

430c430
<                                       printf(" %s", heading);
---
>                                       printf("%s ", heading);
434c434
<                                       printf("%s%s\\\\n",
no\_heading?" ":"Title: ", item\_cur -> title);
---
>                                       printf("%s%s",
no\_heading?"":"Title: ", item\_cur -> title);

If you don’t care, just install it using your pkg manager.

For debian(-based):

apt-get install rsstail
