I still don't quite understand what all the hoopla around podcasting is about,
but since KCRW started offering feeds of
their programs, I thought I'd check it out. I don't have an mp3 player, so
I was thinking I might listen to some programs while working or listen to them
through my Tivo.
I downloaded an RPM of iPodder, converted it to a
Debian package using alien and installed it. It looks like it requires
wxPython 2.5 so I installed the libwxgtk2.5.3-python package.
Since I also have wxPython 2.4 installed, I had to update
/opt/iPodder/iPodderGui.py to use the right version. Here's the diff:
--- iPodderGui.py.orig 2005-03-03 11:28:58.000000000 -0800
+++ iPodderGui.py 2005-03-03 11:29:06.000000000 -0800
@@ -1,3 +1,5 @@
+import wxversion
+wxversion.select('2.5')
import wx
import wx.xrc as xrc
import wx.lib.filebrowsebutton as filebrowse
I still don't see what's so great about this. I'd be happy if straw supported enclosures
so I could just download the mp3s from there.
Update: Mostly as an exercise, I've created a Debian package for iPodder.
