1 | # GoFetch |
| 2 | ||
| 3 | GoFetch is a simple web scrapper that outputs gopher-ready files. | |
| 4 | You point it to your gopher directory, you launch it, and you have a | |
| 5 | gopher view of the supported news sites. | |
| 6 | ||
| 7 | ## Supported websites | |
| 8 | ||
| 9 | - Slashdot: News for nerds, stuff that matters! | |
| 10 | ||
| 11 | ## Supported platforms | |
| 12 | ||
| 13 | Any platform with at lest Java 1.6 on it should be ok. | |
| 14 | ||
| 15 | ## Usage | |
| 16 | ||
| 17 | ```java -jar gofetch.jar [dir] [selector] [type] [max] [hostname] [port]``` | |
| 18 | ||
| 19 | - dir: the target directory where to store the files | |
| 20 | - selector: the gopher selector to prepend (also a sub-directory in [dir]) | |
| 21 | - max: the maximum number of stories to show on the main page | |
| 22 | - hostname: the gopher hostname | |
| 23 | - port: the gopher port | |
| 24 | ||
| 25 | ## Compilation | |
| 26 | ||
| 27 | ```./configure.sh && make``` | |
| 28 | ||
| 29 | You can also import the java sources into, say, [Eclipse](https://eclipse.org/), and create a runnable JAR file from there. | |
| 30 | ||
| 31 | ### Dependant libraries (included) | |
| 32 | ||
| 33 | - libs/nikiroo-utils-sources.jar: some shared utility functions I also use elsewhere | |
| 34 | - [libs/jsoup-sources.jar](https://jsoup.org/): a nice library to parse HTML | |
| 35 | ||
| 36 | Nothing else but Java 1.6+. | |
| 37 | ||
| 38 | Note that calling ```make libs``` will export the libraries into the src/ directory. | |
