Wifi-radar Ported To Oz/gpe
« on: May 15, 2006, 05:47:24 am »
I have made a .bb recipe / ipk for wifi-radar. Here is the description of the program:

Name: wifi-radar 1.9.6
Homepage: http://wifi-radar.systemimager.org/
Description: WiFi Radar is a Python/PyGTK2  utility for managing WiFi profiles.
Notes: Before installing please enable the Python feed in /etc/ipkg.conf. I have patched the application so that it can use udhcpc and wpa_supplicant on the Zaurus. I have met a few bugs but I can't tell if they are linked to my install. So please give feedbacks.

Bugs I have noted:
- launching the app from the desktop icon does not work. The app will launch but scanning will not start. If you start from the menu icon, it works. Also works fine from command line. That's a strange bug.
- Python gives an error when processing the command line to connect to wpa networks. This might be related to the python version. I will dig.
- Interface freezes after connecting to a network. I will dig also. All these might be related to python...

Still the app is very usefull for me to display available networks in my neighbourhood.

A small note: a python package should have 'all' or 'noarch' as arch, since it's just a script. In OE you can do that with:

Code: [Select]
PACKAGE_ARCH = "all"
Forums are not bugtrackers!!! Smart questions

Oh, cool, thanks. I will modify before sending .bb to OE.
