Description David Kaufmann 2019-08-12 19:42:33 UTC
rss2email has been orphaned, but is still useful.

Description:
rss2email lets you subscribe to a list of XML newsfeeds (RSS or Atom). It can
parse them regularly with the help of cron and send new items to you by email.

An HTML mail will be send in the default configuration to the local SMTP server.
See the manual page r2e for details on how to set up rss2email.

Spec URL: https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/astra/rss2email/fedora-rawhide-x86_64/00998081-rss2email/rss2email.spec
SRPM URL: https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/astra/rss2email/fedora-rawhide-x86_64/00998081-rss2email/rss2email-3.9-2.20190812git4708c4b.fc31.src.rpm

I'd like to fix the open issues, but as I'm not yet maintainer I couldn't just take the package:

* FTBFS: #1736593
Fixed by switching the upstream version

* Should be migrated to Python 3: #1738816
New upstream version is already in Python 3 - migration script exists

* Does not build on EPEL
Depends on #1663178 and #1740322 , but should be easily doable as python36 is now coming to RHEL7 as python3
Currently it builds on fc30, rawhide and rhel8, for epel7 those bugs are blocking.

Most of the spec-file is taken from Matej Cepl (mcepl) and some python3-migration-changes are from a pull request from Filip Szymański (fszymanski), pushed to a more recent git version.

A successful Koji scratch build.

Comment 2 Robert-André Mauchin 🐧 2019-08-23 15:58:04 UTC
 - It is forbidden to glob the entire %{python3_sitelib} directory, be more specific instead:

%{python3_sitelib}/%{name}
%{python3_sitelib}/%{name}*.egg-info

Comment 3 David Kaufmann 2019-08-26 19:48:36 UTC
The globbing issue and the spelling mistake should be fixed, I've compiled a new release on copr.

The strange-permission warning is still there, although on my system it says "rss2email.src: W: strange-permission r2e-migrate 755", which I think should be okay.

LGTM, package approved.

Comment 5 Fabio Valentini 2019-09-23 14:30:00 UTC
I've sponsored David as a packager.

We'll work through the pending package unretirement and all that stuff together.

Comment 6 Mattia Verga 2021-07-04 15:24:22 UTC
Package is in repos
