Title: Apps not in RC5 feed that still work
Post by: stbrock on October 10, 2004, 10:03:46 pm

Perhaps it will save time for some if we collect in a thread those apps that still seem to be working but are not in the new RC5 feed while maintainers are working on recompiling those apps that need it.

For me, monobut, vncviewer, x0vncserver, less, and hnb still installed and seem to be working fine. These apps are from what is now called the oldunstable feed at the pdaXrom site.  

Graphics, sound, and technical programs are more likely to need recompiling for RC5. links-g (with graphics) didn't run for me, nor did pari-gp (number theory calculator).

I got the following to work fine:

opie-reader_0.7f-1_armv5tel.ipk
tcpdump_3.8.1_aj_arm.ipk
xboard_4.2.7_armv5tel.ipk
mplayer_1.0pre3try2_armv5tel.ipk

Also working are the following from the debian ARM stable archive:
pkill
netcat (nc)

In both of these cases I downloaded the deb package on to my workstation, extracted it with "ar x package_name.deb" then extracted the gziped tarball data.tar.gz. Pulled the binary I wanted out of the files and scp'ed it into the /usr/bin directory on my c860. Things ran as expected for these simple programs.
