Description:

>From Planet's README:

"Planet is a flexible feed aggregator, this means that it downloads feeds and aggregates their content together into a single combined feed with the latest news first.

It uses Mark Pilgrim's Ultra-liberal feed parser so can read from RDF, RSS and Atom feeds and Tomas Styblo's template library to output static files in unlimited formats based on a series of templates."

It's built from a snapshot taken from the GNU arch repository yesterday. Note that the planetplanet.org page lists the wrong branch (or whatever arch calls them). It should be:

jdub at perkypants.org--projects/planet--devel--1.0

I've called the package "planetplanet" to match the executable name "planetplanet". The program from upstream is actually called planet.py, but I had problems with planet.py not being able to find the "planet" module that went away when I renamed the script (see <http://lists.planetplanet.org/pipermail/devel/2005-November/000714.html>). I chose planetplanet to match the website.

There are some rpmlint warnings & errors (see below), but I believe they're spurious. In particular, the errors on .py seem quite selective - rpmlint doesn't warn about the other .py files in the same directory. "Python license" was copied from the list of licences in the rpmlint Python code itself!

[rpmbuild at katrina noarch]$ rpmlint planetplanet-1.0-0.1.20051115arch.noarch.rpm W: planetplanet invalid-license Python license
E: planetplanet non-executable-script /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/planet/__init__.py 0644

E: planetplanet non-executable-script /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/planet/cache.py 0644

If you want to give planetplanet a whirl, I can give you an example config. Just let me know.
