Artix News: Scraping 18 February 2019, 13:00:50 Hello!I have a small contribution, which may be useful for someone here.Sometimes I lost my X because a weird upgrade, would be nice if I can check the artix news to look if some breaking upgrade was released.Because of that I made a scraper of Artix news page: https://github.com/ryukinix/artix-news.It's mostly based on archnews python script (https://github.com/mjiricka/archnews/blob/master/archnews). 1 Likes
Re: Artix News: Scraping Reply #1 – 18 February 2019, 19:40:13 It works!A couple of things I encountered that may be useful for installation by others - to use pip install you have to first install the python-pip package from the repos. And I did not have .local/bin in PATH so I got a warning about that, and had to call it by it's full path to run it. Installing it without the --user option worked though.And if you do $ artix-news | less - R you can see it in less, but still keep the color display. 1 Likes
Re: Artix News: Scraping Reply #2 – 18 February 2019, 22:02:24 Great!!! Thanks for testing it. I'll plan some additional documentation and I can make a AUR package if there is a need for it. There is a planned flag (artix-news -s) to add a brief summary of news: https://github.com/ryukinix/artix-news/issues/1Which will make this result: 2 Likes
