3.5.4.x Upgrades

[Hrw]

Added:
- wpa-gui 0.4.8 (QT3/X11 gui to scan/discover/configure WiFi networks with WEP/WPA/WPA2 support)
- irdadump 0.9.16

Upgraded:
- mysql 4.1.18
- visiscript 0.4.3

I also want to give pregenerated locales for OZ 3.5.4 but this will need more testing as it upgrade libc6 so it has to be done properly or system will broke. Probably I will give it in final 3.5.4.1 images and some time after will release 3.5.4.2 for collie/tosa/poodle (3.5.4.2 will be 3.5.4 + upgrades basically - any 3.5.4 user should be able to upgrade via 'ipkg update;ipkg upgrade').

just some things i would like:
usb-audio (kernel module)
zkbdd

and some bug fixes
man still broken "invalid device 'latin1'"
zsh symlink /usr/bin/zsh incorectly points to Hrw's home dir (which dosent exsist on my machine)
mpd has no universal init script (thogh some people like to run it as thier own user)
mpd dosent ship with /etc/mpd.conf file and dir structure is messed up (/var/lib/mpd, requires files and folders to be added)
/tmp (symlink to /var/tmp) has no stikybit set
running the bootstrap image and had to change TERM varible to linux to get color (not really a problem but IMHO if its running on a linux FB with the kernel doing term emulation then it should be set to t"linux)
no perl (automake fails as it is listed as a dependency

sorry for the list i have been caching these for awhile and never did get around to looking for that bugtracker, mabey could we get a program to auto submit bug reports? somithng quick whiped up in sh

[Hrw]

1. report bugs to bugtracker
2. patches are welcome

3. perl is in feed/perl/ - I will take care of it being in preconfigured feeds

zkbdd is in my experimental: http://ewi546.ewi.utwente.nl/tmp/hrw/3.5.4x-experimental/

Thanks alot, the one thing i have noticed about OZ is that the pakages dont seem to have the same level and intergration as some of the PC distros, id say its about 95% there but things like default PAM rules and other such stuff are not installed by default or config files being left off

i guess its time for me to have another look at OE and update some pakages by hand (i really want to add htop, rtorrent and some other utility packages)

I would like to request: grisbi for X11 -- a decent relatively light-weight personal finance manager.

Well, the obvious reason for this is that OZ is not a PC distro.
Always keep in mind that we are talking about PDAs with (usually) a very small rootfs.
Think Collies ~14Mb, or Poodles ~20Mb.

The SL-Cxx00 with 64 to 4000Mb are the exception, not the norm  

When we create a package, all the superflous stuff gets thrown out due to space / RAM / CPU constraints.

Please try to do something like that with $RANDOM_PC_DISTRO

I'm sorry Hrw, but your ipk in the upgrades feed is broken. It's missing the pics, data(bmp files), and the desktop files.

Greg2: good to know - will rebuild it and recheck.

You probably need the new sdl stuff mickeyl added to .dev a while ago. The opie .desktop file isn't supposed to be in that .ipk but in a seperate ipk that depends on the main .ipk

I'd like dump_cis etc. to help me diagnose why a card that should be supported by pcmcia card services doesn't work on OZ.

[Da_Blitz]

True about the small space but why not just make $pakage_name-conf.ipkg like we have for the man pages so they can be installed, this is how ipkg was intended to be used (pacakages broken down to the smallest usable component to install what you need)

i still belive that OE "feels" messy to use, i dont know how others fell it just seems to me to be a bit inonsistent thogh that might just be due to the fact that i tend to concentrate on the cmd line more, i havet used gpe or opie but it seems to me that the people who do havent needed to do nearly as many hacks by hand to get things running nicly

while im on about it the display-brightness ipkg has a bug, uses head -1 instead of head -n 1 (somewhere in the first 10 lines), bug trackers are nice but i dont like having to do the entire email thing, i would rather just report it and move on, im still willing to whip up that auto bug tracking program if you want it

Bugs being submitted now

your right thogh when you have 4G its easy to forget

[Hrw]

Added:
- zsh 4.1.1 (fixed)


zsh 4.3.2 in my experimental: http://ewi546.ewi.utwente.nl/tmp/hrw/3.5.4x-experimental/

Plenty of little puzzle games (including sudoku) just waiting to be compiled and packaged for GPE : http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/

Thanks, cant live on the command line without it
