PIM/Akregator port

From KDE Community Wiki

Building Akregator2

Akregator2 is developed in the akregator_port branch of the kdepim, kdepim-runtime and kdepimlibs repositories.

Running git checkout akregator_port in these three repositories is enough to build Akregator2.

IMPORTANT: Akregator2 will NOT replace Akregator. Both are installed and can be executed at the same time.

The master branch is merged regularly into the akregator_port branch.

Only Akregator2 related commits shall be pushed in the akregator_port branch.

Needed features

  • [TODO] basic periodic fetching (can this be implemented using CachePolicy?)
