marcinfo2rss

A helper script to make marc.info archive into a RSS feed

Background

OpenBSD has great mailing lists, archives of which is hosted in marc.info. This script allows you to get the archives as a RSS feed to be added in newsboat.

This should work on many other lists hosted at marc.info, I have tested only openbsd-announce and openbsd-misc.

Installation

1. Copy marc2rss.py to ~/.config/newsboat
2. Copy the marc2rss.sh to $PATH
3. Add the following line to newsboat's config: filter:marc2rss.sh:https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-announce "~OpenBSD Announcements"

Only dependency to this is a Python 3 environment, it uses only standard library.
