Re: [ubuntu-in] Need a feed aggregator

2011-02-19 Thread stereotactic
Thanks! But there is more than this basic need. (This is the response 
from the developer on the site). I am looking for a possibility of 
having this on the Desktop/Cloud based solution.


Here's what I propose:

Check out the site ( http://schema-root.org ) built from scratch using 
PHP and MySQL.


The newsfeed items on these pages are derived*from external RSS feeds* 
that *he parses and store in his database.*


He then reconstitutes newsfeeds from that database, using some criteria, 
and *cross-referencing various strings* that appear in the items with 
*links that point back* into his own topic tree.


The design of his site has been "as needed".

The idea is to provide articles from reliable sources, and to avoid 
stories from unreliable sources.


This means that the solution provided needs to filter out the spam.  Can 
a Desktop solution be made or is there anything like that? I am a doctor 
with zero coding skills. This can be applied to anything a person needs. 
Suppose you need to track news related to a particular sector, drop the 
feeds from any site which has RSS feeds. And you would get the most 
relevant news every day. For Engineering guys, track developments 
related to start ups/ jobs/papers.


The icing on the cake is to get Twitter which allows searches for 
relevant "hash tags" and outputs this as the RSS feed. So you stay 
current; the OPML file be routed to a RSS Reader like Google Reader or 
anything that you have on desktop.

Thunderbird can do 1 and 3.

Yahoo pipes can do all the three things but it's a web application.

If none of the above 2 work, you can write a script in your favourite
scripting language.

I have done the same thing that you're looking for using yahoo pipes.
And it is easy to do.

say it would work for all packages, not for a certain set of packages.

Compare it with "Safe upgrade" and "Full Upgrade" in Synaptic (or used to
be; don't remember since I haven't used it recently).

Safe Upgrade = apt-get upgrade : if upgrading any package causes removal of
another package, such package is held back.

Full Upgrade = apt-get dist-upgrade : all packages are upgraded, even if
upgrading any package caused another package to be removed.

In both cases, the system is on the same release (10.04). It does not
upgrade to 10.10.

I daily do 'apt-get dist-upgrade' on my lucid machine, and I can confirm it
is still lucid and not maverick. :)

Just writing out of my own experience. Trying to dig out some material on
it (referred to it ages ago).

Thanks. But I don't have Ubuntu Installed. Just have the iso that i wanted
to update to 10.04.2 without needing to download the whole iso. i think
zsysnc should do it.

I too have shifted to Linux Mint Debian edition, primarily for its Rolling
Release. Updates too are easier as i now don't look at levels 3 and higher.
I just focus on level 1 & 2. Also installed debdelta which looks like it

If you run apt-get dist-upgrade on 10.04 machine, 10.10 will be listed and
not the maintenance version. The machine will go to 10.04.2 on just running
apt-get upgrade

As I said earlier, the maintenance release is just for fresh installs to
avoid downloading the updates provided after the LTS release.

[ubuntu-in] Need a feed aggregator

2011-02-19 Thread stereotactic

Hi All,

I need an offline feed aggregator which should also be able to output 
the URL.


Here's what I have in my mind.

1) I feed in the RSS feeds from different sources.
2) Filter out the content using keywords.
3) The filtered content be available as an OPML file so that I can use 
it on my Google Reader.


Is there any solution like that for Ubuntu?

Thanks in advance!

'normal update' is what 'apt-get dist-upgrade' does, but on command line

Even Ubuntu and Debian for that matter categorise updates in to 'security',
'recommended' and 'miscellaneous'. You see different update notifier icon
in the system notification area for security and other updates. May be Mint
has further categorised them in to 6 levels.

Have you picked up/used said netbooks? Any feedback?

Their website says...

"A 6 cell battery, delivers up to 13.5 hours* (6 cell 5,900mAh)/10.0 hours*
(6 cell 4,400mAh*) of power to keep you running all day long."

Which battery are they shipping with by default? (Does the 5900mAh one cost

Is the battery life close to advertised numbers?

You will get a normal update which will change your version number to 
10.04.2


Maintenance release is a release with all the updates since LTS 
release applied. This should be used in fresh installations to avoid 
downloading huge amount of updates.

Hi

On topic, I have Ubuntu 10.04.1 iso images with me and feel it a
complete waste of limited bandwidth to again download the
whole iso. Is
there a way that i can just download the difference and
regenerate/recreate/modify the iso to 10.04.2.


I have Ubuntu 10.04 installed on my laptop which got updated to
10.04.1

All you need to do is apt-get dist-upgrade and it will goto 10.04.2

No need to download the full ISO again

I think there is no need to run dist-upgrade if you are on 10.04.1

You will get a normal update which will change your version number to
10.04.2

Maintenance release is a release with all the updates since LTS release
applied. This should be used in fresh installations to avoid downloading
huge amount of updates.
