==============================
1) What's new in version 0.9.0
==============================
** TODO
===============
2) Dependencies
===============
Debian/Ubuntu users can install the dependencies with:
apt-get install python python-glade2 python-gtk2 wget python-xml
If you want to have iPod synchronization support, you will also
have to install the following OPTIONAL packages:
* One of the following metadata libraries:
* python-pymad (preferred; MAD MP3 decoder Python bindings)
* python-eyed3 (alternative to pymad; eyeD3 Python bindings)
* python-gpod (libgpod's Python bindings)
* python-id3 (OPTIONAL; if you want ID3v2 cover art extraction)
* mplayer (OPTIONAL; if you want video podcast length detection)
Other users: Please install the above packages somehow ;)
If you want to install gPodder from source, you have to
get the following packages:
apt-get install help2man python-dev intltool imagemagick
Debian developers should install these additional packages:
apt-get install devscripts debhelper fakeroot
=====================
3) How to run/install
=====================
Extract the tar archive somewhere into your home directory and cd into
the directory where you extracted it, for example:
tar xzvf gpodder-0.9.0.tar.gz
cd gpodder-0.9.0/
After that you can start gPodder by starting it with the following
command:
make test
If this works out, close gPodder again and install it system-wide:
sudo make install
This will install gPodder in standard locations. After the installation
routine (hopefully) finished successfully, you might run gPodder from
any path on your machine by simply typing:
gpodder
If you have any problems, please visit the gPodder website or mail the
gPodder mailing list (see below for more information).
=============
4) How to use
=============
gPodder was designed with usability in mind. Saying that gPodder is
self-explaining saves me from writing long documentation. Watch out
for the gPodder website. If you need more information, please mail
our gPodder mailing list :)
=============
5) Known bugs
=============
No known bug so far. Please mail the mailing list to report bugs -
we'll try to fix them in the next release :) Thanks!
=========================================
6) Feature requests, bug reports, patches
=========================================
Feel free to mail me about feature requests, bug reports, patches or nearly
anything that comes to your mind relating gPodder:
Author's eMail: thp@perli.net
gPodder homepage: http://gpodder.berlios.de/

And last but not least... have fun with gPodder :)
