Ricardo M. Reyes has created a SourceForge project for newspipe, making it accessible via CVS — which is always a good thing, provided your corporate firewall lets CVS through (mine doesn’t, which is weird in a company with in‑house development — ah well).
Now that I’m home for the weekend, I’ll be checking out the latest sources and merging Davi’s fixes as soon as I can find them again (I seem to have lost the link to his package).
Update: Despite the 37ºC heat and the amount of stuff I still have to read through, I set up a new newspipe
install, and it’s humming along so nicely (it even has colored diffs for updated posts) that I started giving Ricardo a hand with the docs.
