sfeedrc
-
Config file, see the sfeedrc.example file for an example. This file is evaluated as a shellscript in sfeed_update. You can for example override the fetchfeed() function to use wget, fetch or an other download program or you can override the merge() function to change the merge logic. The function feeds() is called to fetch the feeds. By default the function feed() is executed as a parallel job to speedup updating.
