New Packages Announcement

[Chero]

Some real slick and fast PIM apps for our Z :

They are small and lightweight, but yet they are based on evolution-data-server and can use (modify) your evolution data.
There is no sync solution yet, but it's coming soon.
These apps were created for the Nokia 770 and are in full development.

Would people mind mentioning which release has been used when compiling - it's evident most r121 packages will not run in beta 3 so it will save us time and the forums bandwidth if we knew.

thanks!

I am wondering if folks would not be better served by a standard post rather than a single thread. For example:

Subject: NPA: Debbie Does Zaurus

Package: ddz
Priority: optional
Section: Games
Maintainer: Debbie
Architecture: armv5tel
Version: 2.4.4-2
Depends: libbodyparts, libpositions, libunderwear, libcleaningsupplies
Package: ddz_2.4.4-2_armv5tel.ipk
Size: 4971788
MD5Sum: bf0efbf716cc6fc113912ecb2778971d
Description: Debbie Does Zaurus is a fun game in which a small town girl falls in love with a handheld device.

Then folks could discuss any issues with the package in that thread. You could search for them all with NPA: The NPA: posts could be placed in at least the appropriate folders for the ROMs they were built for. Just a thought. If we ever get any traffic at the new site, maybe that is the way we can do it there.

[span style=\'font-size:14pt;line-height:100%\']GNU Texinfo 4.8a[/span]
http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/
Texinfo uses a single source file to produce output in a number of formats, both online and printed (dvi, html, info, pdf, xml, etc.). This means that instead of writing different documents for online information and another for a printed manual, you need write only one document. And when the work is revised, you need revise only that one document. The Texinfo system is well-integrated with GNU Emacs.

http://scrollkeeper.sourceforge.net/
ScrollKeeper is a cataloging system for documentation on open systems. It manages documentation metadata (as specified by the Open Source Metadata Framework(OMF)) and provides a simple API to allow help browsers to find, sort, and search the document catalog. It will also be able to communicate with catalog servers on the Net to search for documents which are not on the local system.

I have created xraise which is a very small binary to bring a selected X application to the foreground.

Then Antikx pointed me to wmctrl which is much more powerful and can do what xwininfo, xresizewindow and xraise can do and more....

JamVM 1.4.5

I don't know if anybody uses this or if it's been compiled before, but here it is. For 2.6 kernels compiled with the options:

Code: [Select]

-O4 -mtune=xscale -mcpu=xscale -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-common
EDIT: Oh yeah, PM me or start a thread if there are issues...I didn't test it, as I cross-compiled.

EDIT2: I have been informed that I also need the latest classpath. I'll get to it ASAP.

EDIT3: The latest classpath needs a new gconf-2.0...This could be a long chain.

EDIT4: I'll probably never get around to compiling classpath, so if anybody wants to give it a shot, go ahead.

[span style=\'font-size:14pt;line-height:100%\']GTKTerm2 0.2.3b (Recompiled; Fine-tuned build for Z)[/span]

-- Homepage: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gtkterm/
-- GTKTerm is a small graphical shell like XTerm.
-- Extremely lightweight and little footprint.
-- Multi-tab function
-- This build is optimized (-O2 -mcpu=xscale, -mtune=iwmmxt), without debug messages, stripped. It now runs much faster than the build in the official feed, just like aterm!
-- Unicode friendly. CJK supported. Various inputmethods (UIM, SCIM, GCIN, FCITX) are all supported!
-- A great companion for Emacs or Vim!
-- Key control:

Code: [Select]

SHIFT + RIGHT or KEYPAD RIGHT       next Terminal on the right hand
SHIFT + LEFT or KEYPAD LEFT         next Terminal on the left hand
CTRL + n                            new Terminal-- Small tip: the original font displat is ugly. You can edit ~/.gtkterm2rc and change
terminalFont = Terminal 12
to
terminalFont = Lucida Console 12 OR terminalFont = BitStream Vera Sans Mono 12

Enjoy!

Off topic: AFAIK many packages will work just fine for all (or most) versions of pdaX and not every package is sensitive to the version differences. I suppose it's the packager's job to highlight the "version compatibility", but only if incompatibilities arise. Do correct me if i am wrong.
