newsbeuter - An RSS feed reader for text terminals

[Keith G. Robertson-Turner]

I've just packaged this for another project, so this a heads-up to
anyone interested in maintaining it on Fedora:

http://rpm.slated.org/fedora/8/SRPMS/repoview/newsbeuter.html

Also Buildrequires: stfl, stfl-devel, stfl-static, python-devel,
ruby-devel, perl-devel, sqlite-devel and curl-devel.

http://rpm.slated.org/fedora/8/SRPMS/repoview/stfl.html

Both specs could probably do with some TLC, especially stfl, which has
some very hacky foo going on, since packaging perl/python/ruby modules
is not my forte.

Here's the scoop on newsbeuter, according to the devs:

Newsbeuter is an open-source RSS/Atom feed reader for text terminals. It
runs on Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X and other Unix-like operating systems.
Newsbeuter's great configurability and vast number of features make it a
perfect choice for people that need a slick and fast feed reader that
can be completely controlled via keyboard.

A summary of some of its features:

    * Download podcasts
    * Freely configure your keyboard shortcuts
    * Search through all downloaded articles
    * Categorize and query your subscriptions with a flexible tag system
    * Integrate any data source through a flexible filter and plugin
      system
    * Automatically remove unwanted articles through a "killfile"
    * Define "meta feeds" using a powerful query language
    * Synchronize newsbeuter with your bloglines.com account
    * Import and exporting your subscriptions with the widely used OPML
      format
    * Freely define newsbeuter's look'n'feel through free color

Newsbeuter is the Mutt of RSS feed readers.
