Software / Zaurus Port Of Treeline

« on: July 19, 2005, 05:01:19 pm »

Took a closer look at this just now. It looks like the bundle is a tar'd tar file instead of a gzip'd tar file

From your error messages, it looks like you had that much figured out though.

The other problem is that control.tar should contain ./home/..., not /home.

To fix (on your zaurus):
su -
cd /usr/mnt.rom/cf/software (or wherever you put your ipk's)
mkdir treeline
mv treeline_0.8.1_sharp_arm.ipk treeline
cd treeline
tar xf treeline_0.8.1_sharp_arm.ipk
gunzip control.tar.gz
tar xf control.tar
rm control.tar
tar cf control.tar ./home
gzip control.tar
tar cf treeline_fix_0.8.1_sharp_arm
gzip treeline_fix_0.8.1_sharp_arm
mv treeline_fix_0.8.1_sharp_arm.gz ../treeline_fix_0.8.1_sharp_arm.ipk
cd ..
ipkg install treeline_fix_0.8.1_sharp_arm.ipk

So in the development bundle, edit the file 'make' on line 52 to be "./home" rather than just "home".

Hi zenyatta,

I downloaded the new Sharp ipk from your site to try it out, but (on Cacko 1.21 at least) there's not much improvement : the installer applet ignores the package and ipkg still complains :

# ipkg install treeline_0.8.1_sharp_arm.ipk
zcat: treeline_0.8.1_sharp_arm.ipk: not in gzip format
zcat: stdin: unexpected end of file
ipkg_install_file: ERROR unpacking control.tar.gz from treeline_0.8.1_sharp_arm.ipk

(sorry :-)

I'm running Sharp ROM 1.32 on a 5600 and the installer does not find it.

I'd be looking to replace hnb if I could get this working. I'd like to sync certain files (todo.opml, bookmarks.opml etc...) with my web space which would provide me with an alternative interface along the lines of: [a href=\"http://www.netcrucible.com/xslt/opml.html]http://www.netcrucible.com/xslt/opml.html[/url]

Site Suggestions, Requests, and Updates / How To Wiki

« on: September 16, 2004, 02:10:40 pm »

Major deja vu, but search turned up nothing:

I am logged in here, obviously, but am unable to edit the wiki. It tells me I am unauthorized?

I think it would be nice if the how to wiki had the GFDL license specified, in a fashion similar to WikiPedia.org, so that people contributing to "the community" got that warm fuzzy feeling about their contributions. Some wiki's have a button for exporting the whole wiki-pile in XML format, which might be nice.

General Discussion / Is community.zaurus.com back?

« on: September 16, 2004, 12:56:11 pm »

I wandered out to http://community.zaurus.com today and noticed it was back.  All of it, even the forums.  All the info I can find is here:

http://www.zaurus.com/dev/board/index.php?showtopic=7636

Anyone know, is it back for good?

I do! It's not...

since i can assign a category to an event (new default 5600 rom), i was hoping to be able to view by categories as well. there doesn\'t seem to be a way to view *only* Personal events?

Also, what is that \"link file\" setting?
