Python 2.4 Zaurus Image Available

[kopsis]

The first release of my Python 2.4 image for the Zaurus is now available for testing

• Python Zaurus Image download page

The website has fairly complete download instructions. This hasn't had a huge amount of testing so be careful! (backup critical data, yada yada yada). If you do have problems, you can always go back to the previous version (old versions still available at Sourceforge).

Details of what to expect from this version have been covered in this topic. Feel free to report any problems here (but don't expect fixes until next week). Good luck and have a great weekend!

This link asks me for a login and password. What's up with that?

Thanks in advance for creating this package. I'm looking forward to try it.

Just hit "cancel" on the authentication dialog and it should let you in. I havent figured out why it's doing that (it's not supposed to).

[kopsis]

Scratch that ... cancel doesn't work either. But I think I found and fixed the problem. Give it another try and let me know if you still have problems.

[jfv]

Sorry, I still can't get through.

Felipe

p.s. Can't you put it in the new ELSI?

I just tested it from several different machines and though it still pops up the log-in box, you can "cancel" and it will now let you in.

As for ELSI, the projects there are usually just links to another location (such as my Sourceforge page). That's really a good thing since posting the files alone without the accompanying documentation would be a bad idea. I've tried to make things easy but this is still a good bit more complicated than a simple IPK. Just knowing which image to download (cramfs vs. ext2) requires a bit of an explanation.

Please give the download page one more try. If it still doesn't work I'll have to tackle the problem on Monday.

Here's what I get:

This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the document requested. Either you supplied the wrong credentials (e.g., bad password), or your browser doesn't understand how to supply the credentials required.

Hi,
Clicking on the link still doesn't work for me, but I saw the URL and, by manually typing pyqplayer.sourceforge.net, I got to the pyqplayer page from which I could go to the python download page and finally managed to download the package!

I'll try it and let you know if I have any problems.

Thanks

Felipe

[Greg2]

OK... that works!

Thanks

Greg

[jfv]

OK. Installed and is working. Thanks again.

Ah! I should have looked closer at the link  The link in my original post was indeed hosed. I've edited the post and fixed the link.

Small bug: on the dowload page the link to the ex2 image lacks the ".gz" extension.

Fortunately the instructions page refers to it by that name so the URL can be manually corrected to access the file, but I guess it's not the intended way

Fixed! Thanks for pointing that out
