= Mars

Mars is a feed aggregator!

== Installation

Most of the prerequisites will be handled by Rubygems. Unfortunately
the latest html5lib package contains a bug that's only fixed in 0.10.1
(currently only in SVN trunk).

  $ svn checkout http://html5lib.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ html5lib
  $ cd html5lib/ruby && rake install_gem

TODO: make this gem available somewhere. (Ideally rubyforge, but whatever.)

In addition, Mars needs a *working* XML parser (REXML version 3.1.6
won't do). The easiest thing to do is probably to install the ruby
bindings to libxml2. On debian-based systems:

  $ sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev && sudo gem install libxml-ruby

But you can also get a more recent REXML if you don't have a compiler:

  $ svn co http://www.germane-software.com/repos/rexml/trunk/ rexml
  $ export RUBYLIB="/path/rexml/src"

== Usage

  $ planet $CONFIG_FILE

Config files may be in INI or YAML. See test/config.yml for an example.

TODO: list required values?
