Bug#468778: O: snownews -- Text mode RSS newsreader
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
I intent to orphan the snownews package.
The package description is:
Snownews is a text mode RSS/RDF newsreader (similar to what lynx is for
web-browsing). It supports RSS 1.0 feeds that comply with the W3C RDF
specification and also supports Radio Userland's RSS 0.91 and 2.0 versions.
It also includes the following additional features:
.
HTTP proxy support
Correctly handles HTTP 301, 304, and gzip/deflate Content-Encodings.
Imports OPML (Outline Processor Markup Language) subscription lists
Fully customizable key bindings
Customizable color support
.
Homepage: http://snownews.kcore.de
I am no longer interested in this package, a new upstream version is
available (no real changes) and I think newsbeuter is far better than
snownews providing all the features people ever wanted to get
implemented in snownews. I maintain this package together with Joe
Nahmias and I poked him 3 weeks ago about the fact that I am no longer
interested in this package and poked him again one week ago. No answer.
So I am orphaning this package now.
Cheers
Nico
