  • Download and Compiling with Mercurial and SCons

    We have switched from Subversion to Mercurial repositories. First, you need Mercurial; type "sudo apt-get install mercurial". Mercurial is a version control system similar to Subversion, but with distributed features. To download the current version of OCRopus, please do the following:

    $ hg clone http://iulib.googlecode.com/hg iulib
    $ hg clone http://ocropus.googlecode.com/hg ocropus

    There are a number of prerequisites. On Ubuntu 9.04, you can install them by running:

    $ sudo sh -x ocropus/ubuntu-packages

    You can build OCRopus with either scons or autoconf/automake. Scons is intended to work only on Ubuntu 9.04 and we're using it for development.

  • There are many different ways to read RSS feeds. Maybe rss2email is the right one for you.

    First, rss2email is open source and free to download and use forever.

    rss2email lets you read newsfeeds from a program that you already know and use everyday: your email client. So rather than having to learn to use a new program or visit a webpage, rss2email delivers news items to the place where information that is important to you already is.

    Your email client probably has useful filtering capabilities. Rather than be bombarded by every new item, you can sort and group feeds into different folders so that the important stuff gets read first and other things stick around until later.

    Also, if you find something that you want to hang onto or foward to a friend, you probably already know how to do that in your email client.
