I got the 24 day notice for the distribution upgrade and tt-rss is one of my most used apps. tt-rss is not going to be a part of Debian Trixie. What to do?
RSS readers have a list of subscriptions which are all of your RSS feeds you follow. There is a standard method of working with lists of feeds called OPML. tt-rss has an OPML export feature, and this export can be read by other RSS programs to restore your list of RSS feeds on the new program.
Here is the OPML dialog you can navigate to from the tt-rss Preferences page.
I made one export using the default options, and a second export removing the “include settings” option. One of these will be usable by miniflux after the upgrade.
I have quite a number of saved articles from over the years and do not wish to lose access to them. For now I have gone into aptitude and marked the tt-rssas “hold” so hopefully it will remain accessible after the upgrade as I don’t have time to deal with this breakage right now. In other words, I want access to the saved articles in the database to remain.
I’m glad this message was sent to me by Discourse as I don’t usually open the main FreedomBox page.
Go look in the preferences and see if there is an article or database export option - I was not looking for that. You could also look at the tt-rss database and use SQL to extract the links to saved articles. Not having that database now I can’t tell you exactly where that would be.
Somebody has already solved this problem, I’m sure, if you look on some forums.
