With the recent decision on gentoo-dev to switch the default target to Python 3.7, many packages stuck on Python 3.6 support are being masked for removal. Hence, I've been trying to avoid Python packages like the plague when alternatives are available. Snownews is written in C and Perl (quite a few Perl dependencies are required, but they're all tiny) and claims to run any UNIX system (which is likely true). The activity on the GitHub repository has been quiet recently, but in my experience it is remarkably stable and encapsulates everything an R.S.S.\ reader should. It is also a terminal application with customisable keybindings, which is a 'must' for me. Unfortunately, it's only available on amd64, x86, and ppc architectures; no A.R.M.\ support in portage.
