THE PURPOSE
===========

This program helps to update subscriptions in Google Reader. The purpose is to
sync actual subscriptions on other services like LiveJournal, PicasaWeb, or
YouTube into Google Reader.


HOW TO RUN
==========

There are many options in command line (we could easily get them with --help):

	$ gomplgen --help

Because all services require authentication the script takes login and password
pairs from ~/.netrc file. 

Example of ~/.netrc:

	machine reader.google.com login LOGIN password PASSWORD
	machine picasaweb.google.com login LOGIN password PASSWORD
	machine www.youtube.com login LOGIN password PASSWORD
	machine www.livejournal.com login LOGIN password PASSWORD

First of all, we need to check what services are supported by script:

	$ gopmlgen --list
        	LiveJournal
        	PicasaWeb
        	YouTube

After we could get OPML file from any of above services:

	$ gopmlgen --service youtube 
		<?xml version='1.0'?>
		<opml version='1.1'><head>
		</head><body>
		<outline text="Videos published by : regizzzzzz" xmlURL="http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/base/users/regizzzzzz/uploads" />
		<outline text="Videos published by : ibkinkun" xmlURL="http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/base/users/ibkinkun/uploads" />
		<outline text="Videos published by : allabelobrova" xmlURL="http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/base/users/allabelobrova/uploads" />
		...
		</body></opml>


Check the difference and update:
	$ gopmlgen --service youtube --subfolder 'YouTube' --diff
	Removed(1):

	$ gopmlgen --service youtube --subfolder 'YouTube' --diff --self --update all
	Removed(1):

KNOWN ISSUES

previous versions the patch allow-override-content-type-header.diff (see
patches folder) should be applied.
