Unfortunately Dynafeed has its own problems. Like being difficult to
configure. Like being difficult to install. Like being buggy.
I tried using Dynafeed for several months. I eventually gave up on it
because it was regularly taking the "control" group out of the newsrc
file, despite insertions of ": control" in several different config
files. I am currently working on a replacement that rewrites the
site's newsfeeds file entry, instead of trying to do the news feeding
itself.
