I think this should be “Atom”, not “ATOM”.

How is this supposed to be used?  If these are just PHP files I think it
may be worth prepending “php-” to the package name and the variable
name.

What do you think?

Indeed! I'll fix that.

This is not a php library of any kind. It is a web *application*, and we
should ignore what language it was written in. For example, gnusocial is
also a bunch of PHP files, but we wouldn't name it php-gnusocial, would
we?

> How is this supposed to be used?

I think we'll have to create an rss-bridge service. I'm not too sure at
this point, because I am yet to write my first service, and don't fully
understand how services work.

Ah, okay.  Thanks for clarifying.

Services are more than just daemon scripts that can be started and
stopped with Shepherd.  Services can do more than that; they can extend
other services e.g. to add to a configuration file or to set up
directories at activation time.

If you can come up with a list of things that need to be done to use
the rss-bridge web application I’m sure we can figure out together how
to implement the service.

I'll figure this out, and add a service soon.
