Mu-Feeder Description

Twitterfeed replacement Mu-Feeder is a free software replacement for Twitterfeed, a proprietary web service. Takes an RSS or ATOM feed and posts notices to your microblog (e.g. Identi.ca or Twitter) for each new item.Currently there is support for the Ident.ca, Twitter and StatusNet compatible microblogging services as well as tr.im URL shortening support. The code has been tested under Python 2.6, but should work on earlier versions (the intention however is to move to 3.x as soon as feedparser has been ported).Installation and UsageThere isn't really any formal installation process at the moment, you canjust unpack the tarball and configure the program. Configuration is achieved by copying the example_settings.py file and modifying it to suit. cp example_settings.py settings.py Hopefully all the settings are pretty self explainatory, but they are alsocommented in the example file.To use the program just run it:./mu-feeder.py However, you might need to mark it as executable first:chmod +x mu-feeder.py To make Mu-Feeder automatically update at specified intervals create acrontab job:Run the command 'crontab -e' to edit your cron jobs, and add the correct line, e.g:30 * * * * mu-feeder.py > /dev/nullWill run Mu-Feeder every 30 minutes.Bugs and Feature RequestsPlease report bugs on the launchpad bug tracker at https://bugs.launchpad.net/mu-feeder, you can also ask questions orsubmit feature requests via the answers page athttps://answers.launchpad.net/mu-feeder.If you would like to submit a patch to Mu-Feeder please create a bzr merge directive (see below) and attach it to a bug report on launchpad.To create a merge derective, first branch the code:bzr branch lp:mu-feeder/0.1 for the latest 0.1.x release ORbzr branch lp:mu-feederfor the latest experimental code.Then make your changes and run 'bzr commit' and add a description ofyour changes in the commit message.
