I have recently released version 0.1 of Cwibber.
Cwibber is an easy to use command line interface to Gwibber, which makes it easy to get (currently) Identica, Twitter and Facebook messages in your Conky.
First of all, add my ppa to your /etc/sources.list:
Code:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/mcielen/ppa/ubuntu [version] main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/mcielen/ppa/ubuntu [version] main
Ofcourse subsitute [version] with intrepid, jaunty or karmic. Then add the PGP key:
Code:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 0DA7F92B
Since Cwibber depends on Gwibber >= 2.0, add the Gwibber ppa:
Code:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/gwibber-daily/ppa/ubuntu [version] main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/gwibber-daily/ppa/ubuntu [version] main
Again subsitute [version] with intrepid, jaunty or karmic. Add the PGP key:
Code:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 72D340A3
And, as usual:
Code:
sudo apt-get update
Now you're ready to install Cwibber:
Code:
sudo apt-get install cwibber
Since Cwibber depends on Gwibber, it'll be installed too.
To use Cwibber 0.1, you'll have to run Gwibber to create the accounts you want to use, and run Gwibber once to start the Gwibber Daemon (this will be changed in Cwibber v0.2). Now call Cwibber from your .conkyrc:
${execi 60 cwibber}
important: before you can use cwibber you first have to authorize Gwibber through Facebook!
TODO for Cwibber 0.2:
- check whether Gwibber daemon is running, if not start it. For this I depend on the Gwibber developers, since refresh intervals will have to be stored in gconf. Developers promised this will be changed soon. (see https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/gwibber/+bug/417903)
- allow management of accounts through cwibber instead of through Gwibber
TODO for later versions:
- I'm hoping to convince Gwibber developers to split GUI and Daemon. If this won't happen, I might pack the gwibber daemon with Cwibber. (see https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/gwibber/+bug/421285)
Call for developers and testers
Test this app, and open an LP bug for any problem you find or features you want to see in next versions.
Since I'm far from a developer myself, I need help for this project. Interested in developing? Contact me through this forum or mail.
