Hi Paul,
Unfortunately Hep is not being actively maintained these days. Updating Hep
to run under the latest Twisted release is on my TODO list, but I haven't
had time to do it, and probably won't in the near future. So you're probably
better off looking for another solution for now.
Thanks for your interest, though!

hep still active?

Is hep still being actively maintained?
I'm searching around for a replacement for newspipe (a rss->smtp tool).
Works great, but every article change (including banner ad changes)
mean a duplicate article being forwarded, and culling them is a real
chore. and am thinking hep along with isync (an imap sync tool, so I

Hi Dan,

Quick update: I haven't forgotten about this. I've got an alpha of the
next Hep release in the works, which will fix this problem. It should be
ready for testing soon - I'll let you know as soon as I have a package
ready.

Dan,

First, thank you for your extreme patience in waiting for an answer for
your question. I apologize for letting this slip through the cracks in
my todo list!

I still haven't been able to duplicate this problem. I do have a couple
of theories about it, though. One thought is that the POP service is

Looking great. (Both on the web site and via IMAP.) Thanks for the fix!

OK, I believe I've fixed this problem. Hep should now gracefully
handle feeds with # in the title (as well as slashes and other
characters that aren't allowed in URL paths).

Please let me know if the problem appears again!

I've verified this as a bug in Hep - adding a connection to the

character, although I haven't figured out exactly why yet.

For now, I've manually edited your connections list and taken out the

I'll let you know once I have a permanent fix in place.

OK, I definitely want to fix this ASAP. Let me see if I can come up
with a permanent solution this morning. If I can't, I'll manually
remove that feed and restart the server.

Looks good now. Thanks!

Oops... spoke too soon. The connections are all confused again. I
did two things which may have triggered the relapse:

(1) I tried viewing messages in #blah RSS feed via the web interface,
(which didn't work) and then
(2) I tried connecting via Mail.app (using IMAP) and I got the same

Hi Matt,

Your data wasn't corrupted on disk, but somehow Hep became confused
about the state of your connections. I'll have to spend some time
looking through the logs to try and figure out what happened. It's
definitely a bug though - thanks for the report.

For now, I just restarted the server, which made it reload your

Hi Abe-

I recently made several changes and additions to my connections on
hep.fettig.net and I'm having several problems now that make me think
that my configuration got corrupted somehow.

Most of my connections are missing, and the one or two that are there
keep coming back when I try to delete them. Also, I cannot re-import

Hi Dan,

You're running Hep 0.6, correct? Let me see if I can duplicate this
problem and figure out a solution...
