Had to create dummy init functions at some places since the owner of a package is the last layer that defines the init function of a package. And a package can be installed only if it has an owner. |

Elfeed layer
Description
This layer integrates a web feed reader into spacemacs.
Features:
- Support for reading RSS and Atom feeds directly within emacs via Elfeed.
- Support for managing feeds via org files supplied by elfeed-org.
- Support for displaying feed database content in the browser via web interface.
Install
Layer
To use this configuration layer, add it to your ~/.spacemacs. You will need to
add elfeed to the existing dotspacemacs-configuration-layers list in this
file.
By default, elfeed stores its database under ~/.elfeed.
Setup feeds
With Org
It is recommended to manage your feeds list and tags via org files, this is possible thanks to elfeed-org package. To define a list of org files:
(elfeed :variables rmh-elfeed-org-files (list "~/.emacs.d/private/elfeed1.org"
"~/.emacs.d/private/elfeed2.org"))Checkout elfeed-org documentation to see the format of that file.
Here is an example of such a file (note the usage of org tags to tag your feeds)
* Blogs :elfeed:
** entry-title: \(linux\|linus\|ubuntu\|kde\|gnome\) :linux:
** http://git-annex.branchable.com/design/assistant/blog/index.rss :mustread:
** http://feeds.feedburner.com/InformationIsBeautiful
** [[http://orgmode.org][Org Mode Links supported as well]]
** Software Development :dev:

**** http://www.fosslc.org/drupal/rss.xml :video:Manually
To explicitly setup the list of feeds, set the value of elfeed-feeds variable
in your .spacemacs file.
(elfeed :variables
elfeed-feeds '(("http://nullprogram.com/feed/" blog emacs)
"http://www.50ply.com/atom.xml" ; no autotagging
("http://nedroid.com/feed/" webcomic)))
Check documentation for elfeed-feeds for more information about this variable
(SPC h d v elfeed-feeds RET).
Server
Elfeed comes with a simple web interface to browse its database. You can manually
start it by calling elfeed-web-start or by setting elfeed-enable-web-interface
to t which will start the web automatically when Emacs starts.
(elfeed :variables elfeed-enable-web-interface t)
By default web interface is available on localhost:8080/elfeed. You can change
the default port by changing the value of httpd-port.
