New Ko/pi Alarm Solution, Easy to install & use Options

[Zumi]

Just install this package and your Z will be resumed before and alarm event if it was suspended, so KO/Pi can use it's own built-in alarm.

Get it from the contrib feed along with a good version of kdepim:
kopi-apm_1.1 and kdepimpi_2.2.7 or add http://mail.pdaxrom.org/contrib/rc11+-armv5tel/ to the feed list in the Package manager!

• You need atd for this package, but it's a dependency, so it should be installed along with this. atd is in the stable feed of 1.1.0beta1 release of pdaXrom.
• You need a custom compiled kdepim to have alarm sounds (it doesn't play them in the feed version). Cattin compiled the one I'm using and it's also a dependency.
• KO/Pi needs to be running if you want alarms

Mainly it's based on Cattin ideas, so thanks for them, minus the atd daemon, thanks Sashz for that.

Important note: atd is automatically started after a reboot, but to start it without reboot, please execute the following command:

CODE

etc/rc.d/init.d/atd start

Thanks gromituk, for pointing this out!

Happy alarming,
Zumi

EDIT: the download path for the files has been changed, and there's a new, 1.1 version along with that. Sorry for the inconvenience about the mess with the filenames.
