Well, actually it’s a task given by my uncle. So the spirit of this script should be KISS, “Keep It Simple, Stupid”.
Instead of GUI, I choose ffmpeg to be the decoder(and the encoder if necessary). Luckily, ffmpeg has a static windows binary build. A good start!
After delivering all the feeds to Maildirs by rssdrop, I also need a notification daemon in my byobu shell.
Byobu supports custom script and display the outputs in the bottom bar. And particularly, you can use colors in byobu script’s output!
Most ruby packages are not maintained by the Archlinux repository, I installed them locally then added ~/.gem/ruby/2.1.0/bin to $PATH.
Although the ruby version is 2.1.5, it uses 2.1.0 as the library version. It feels silly if I change it manually every time, so I have to find a way to check it automatically.
