README.md

feed-to-muc

about

feed-to-muc is an XMPP bot 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

installation

If you have GOPATH 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.

"Password":      "ChangeThis!",
