Overview

A simple feeds engine exporter that uses YAML to get list of feeds and TT as templating system. Some people would call it an aggregator. It was intended to be a reliable Planet (<http://planetplanet.org>) alternative, then some development ideas evolved into rFeed (http://github.com/damog/rfeed). Vitacilina runs on production services on a couple of systems.

Files

config

The "config" parameter specifies the path to a YAML file specifying a list of feeds. Use this format:

 http://myserver.com/myfeed:
   name: Some Cool Feed
 http://feeds.feedburner.com/InfinitePigTheorem:
   name: InfinitePigTheorem
 ...

template

A "Template::Toolkit" file which will be taken as the template for output. Format:

 [% FOREACH p IN data %]
  <a href="[% p.permalink %]">[% p.title %]</a>
   by <a href="[% p.channelUrl %]">[% p.author %]</a>
  <br />
 [% END %]

The "data" is an ordered array with a bunch of hashes with the simple data such as "permalink", "title", "channelUrl", "author", etc.

output

File path where the output will be written.
