It works by loading URLs with lists of articles, looking for links matching regular expressions, and optionally visiting them to get more information and even processing these target pages with XPath and CSS Selectors if necessary. It is basically a purpose specific crawler or scraper. The results are printed as a RSS feed to stdout or optionally to a file. The simplest way to use it is just configure your **local** feed reader, like Liferea or Newsboat, to use a "command" source and pass the correct command line arguments to generate a suitable feed -- this allows you to centralize the configuration in the reader itself and let it handle update times, etc. Run `newslinkrss --help` for the complete list of command line options. ### Package name * newslinkrss --- ### License * GPL-3.0+ --- ### Last updated * 21 December 2023 - latest/stable * 1 June 2024 - latest/edge This snap hasn't been updated in a while.

They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd On Arch Linux, snap can be installed from the [Arch User Repository (AUR).](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/snapd/) The [manual build process](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_packages) is the Arch-supported install method for AUR packages, and you’ll need the [prerequisites](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Prerequisites) installed before you can install any AUR package. You can then install snap with the following: ``` git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/snapd.git cd snapd makepkg -si ``` Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket ``` If [AppArmor](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AppArmor) is enabled in your system, enable the service which loads AppArmor profiles for snaps: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor.service ``` To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`: ``` sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap ``` Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly. ### Install newslinkrss To install newslinkrss, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install newslinkrss ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
