Re: ITP: tickr -- GTK-based highly graphically-customizable RSS Feed Ticker (previously named "i-news")
Dear debian mentors,
As I am still looking for a sponsor for my package "tickr", I wanted to
mention a few things:
- 'tickr' is somewhat similar to 'knewsticker' and 'gnews'.
- If I'm right, 'knewsticker' is no longer available with KDE4 and
'gnews' is not maintained anymore.
- I also found a package named 'ticker' which only provides a text
scroller inside a terminal, without rss parsing ability or graphical
options.
So I do think there is a lack of this kind of application.
