README

Crossbow - the minimalist feed aggregator

Crossbow is a simple but powerful RSS/Atom feed aggregator

Designed to be invoked from cron(8) to fetch updates periodically.
It can easily convert feeds to email.
Entries can be handled with an external program, allowing for example, to automatically download and parse content, without user interaction.
Minimal set of dependencies.
Documented thoroughly.

Pitfalls

The CMake configuration relies on versioning information which is only available to a cloned Git repository, or when building from a dist tarball (generated by the contrib/dist-tarball script.

If versioning information is not available, the package configuration step will fail with the following error:

Could not determine version, see project README for more info.

This is the case if the tarball was built with git-archive(1), or downloaded from a release page on GitLab. Please download a release tarball from the release page instead.
