## about

*feed-to-muc* is a XMPP which queries Atom or RSS newsfeeds and
posts the short summary to a XMPP MUC if there is a new article.

## disclaimer

I am no programmer and this bot is a result of a lot of *try and error*.
There are probably lots of quirks that are remains of some wrong paths 
I went in between. Also a lot is probably solved in a *hacky way* due
to missing experience.    
Anyway, it works (for me at least) and so I upload this here.
Recommendations about what can be done better improved and so on are
very welcome.

## requirements

* [go](https://golang.org/)

## installation

If you have *[GOPATH](https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/SettingGOPATH)* 
set just run this commands:

```
$ go get salsa.debian.org/mdosch-guest/feed-to-muc
$ go install salsa.debian.org/mdosch-guest/feed-to-muc
```

You will find the binary in `$GOPATH/bin` or, if set, `$GOBIN`.
