## 项目历史与用法

castget is a small command-line RSS enclosure downloader aimed primarily at unattended podcast downloads. Its official site describes simple configuration, ID3v2 tagging, M3U playlist generation, and broad RSS/Media RSS handling.

### 项目历史

The manpage credits Marius L. Johndal from 2005 through 2019 and Jick Nan in 2007, placing castget in the older Unix podcast-downloader generation. The official news log records 1.2.x maintenance releases in 2017 and a 2.0.0/2.0.1 release sequence in October 2019.

### 采用历史

The upstream site points users to pre-built packages and ports for several Unix-like systems. The supplied package facts list Homebrew, Fedora, Nix, and Arch packaging, which fits castget's role as a lightweight package-manager install rather than a large application platform.

### 使用方式

Users define feeds as named channels in ~/.castgetrc, then run castget to download new enclosures, list pending items, catch up channels, filter URLs, or resume downloads. The rc file supports per-channel and global options for feed URL, spool directory, playlist path, filters, filenames, and ID3 metadata.

### 为什么软件包爱好者会关心

castget matters as a classic single-purpose Unix tool: it delegates scheduling to cron or a shell, stores state around RSS channels, and uses a dotfile instead of a GUI account model. For package maintainers it is also pleasantly old-school, with a C/autotools source build and a tiny runtime concept.

### 时间线

- 2005: castget copyright begins under Marius L. Johndal.
- 2007: Jick Nan is credited in the castget manpage.
- 2017: 1.2.3 and 1.2.4 bug-fix releases are announced.
- 2019: 2.0.0 and 2.0.1 are announced; 2.0.1 fixes missing man pages.

### Related projects

- castget sits alongside other command-line podcast and RSS enclosure tools, but its own docs emphasize RSS enclosures, podcasts, ID3v2 tagging, and M3U playlists rather than full podcast library management.
