The latest release is in Debian testing, and it proved easy to backport for MX 15/16 and 17, so I'll send it up to the test repo.

This is a fantastic podcatcher and newsreader - very light and fast.

The current version is 2.19, released on 22nd of March 2020, which adds podcast naming.

If anyone could help with updating this package, it would be a great help.

I'll add it to my list, Debian has 2.19 in the Testing Branch, so it should be quick and easy to do.

I failed to get it to build on antiX buster ...It isn't easy...

First stumbling block dep: libc6 (>= 2.29) which is not in buster and won't ever be.

followed by dep: libjson-c4 (>= 0.13.1) - not in buster.

Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

antiX with runit - lean and mean.

thanks anti, yeah that doesn't look good, maybe there is a version between what we have now and current instead.
