Akregator: backend doesn't work with Akregator 1.2 (KDE 3.5)

Please describe the problem: I know it's known to be not ported, still no bug report exists it seems. Steps to reproduce: Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? Other information:
You are right. Akregator (with kde 3.5) is not supported. There was a change of akregator backend format in that version. They moved from simple XML storage files to metakit (an embedded database library). Matakit has a C++ API so someone has to write the glue methods from C# and use the new storage format in akregator backend. I had some email exchange with akregator lead developer; he had the following suggestion: "... In the Akregator sources, the most important file is src/mk4storage/feedstoragemk4impl.cpp: http://websvn.kde.org/branches/KDE/3.5/kdepim/akregator/src/mk4storage/feedstoragemk4impl.cpp?rev=467681&view=log The most important line is d->archiveView = d->storage->GetAs("articles[guid:S,title:S,hash:I,guidIsHash:I,guidIsPermaLink:I,description:S,link:S,comments:I,commentsLink:S,status:I,pubDate:I,tags[tag:S],hasEnclosure:I,enclosureUrl:S,enclosureType:S,enclosureLength:I,categories[catTerm:S,catScheme:S,catName:S]]"); This shows the db structure for the feed archives. Look at the setFoo(guid) and foo(guid) methods how to get the data. ..." I dont use kde-3.5, so I cant experiment with the new akregator. Any takers ... ?
Beagle is not under active development anymore and had its last code changes in early 2011. Its codebase has been archived (see bug 796735): https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/beagle/commits/master "tracker" is an available alternative. Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather transfer the project to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is deprecated) if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
