For those interested in a very versatile RSS aggregator,
straw works well running in chroot debian.
I used the backport because newer versions require kernel 2.6, here is my /etc/apt/sources:
deb
http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian sarge main contrib non-free
deb
http://nonUS.debian.org/debian-non-US sarge/non-US main
deb
http://www.backports.org/debian/ sarge-backports main contrib non-free
Then
apt-get update
apt-get install straw
I had a locales problem initially which gives the error:
Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
This can be fixed by:
export LC_ALL="en_AU"
make sure to have the correct locale installed with
apt-get install locales
I am not sure how to make this setting persistent --- any ideas what the best way to implement such environment variables is in chroot debian?
Then just run
Crd bash
straw
It runs very quickly and works for all sites I've tried (including slashdot, which for some reason doesn't work with liferea)
