I still wonder where that 'by koen' comes from. I only ran Opie on my h3870 2 years ago for like 2 days, just to check it it boots.

I was kinda wondering myself why "Mr. GPE" would write a Opie guide

re XMMS too small bug:

Does this mean that the 'Double Size' option doesn't work? What happened there then as I remember someone saying they got it to work, I think it was XorA, but I can't remember his solution as I had already uninstalled OZ when they worked it out. Are there no other graphical music (ogg and MP3) players in the OZ feed?

Does Hentges for spitz come with an app that lets you pick which card or partition you want your PC to use as a USB storage device?

Not to my knowledge but I could be wrong.

ehm... from the above link:

Code: [Select]
/*
  ToDo
  - Support for kernel 2.4?
  - Support for USB host?
  - file requestor
  - no instant apply
*/

The applet is actually 2.6 only.

Either that is a completely new applet or it was 2.4-only in the past.
The 2.4-only thing was confirmed by a dev in #gpe at the time.

You're mixing up 'pcmcia' and 'usb'. pH5, who wrote that applet never had a 2.4 device

I'm preparing Colle images right now.
Also, I'll run first tests with my "upgrade" feed.

If everything goes well, users should be able to upgrade their installation with "ipkg upgrade" to a new release.

Are there going to be poodle images? I had Opie working pretty well on my poodle with the Hentges ROM of 3.5.4.2-rc2, I flashed GPE to test it and now I want to go back, but I cannot find images to do that.

Too bad Opie is unmaintained  I'd like to use GPE but it doesn't seem ready for prime time yet.

Poodle will be part of the final release. I don't have any ETA on first images tho.

I am excited that you are doing the Collie images. Perhaps soon I can switch back to OZ once and for all and trash my Cacko arrangement. I'm tired of having a machine that is so slow that my wife teases me that using paper and pencil is more efficient.

Well, IMO paper & pencil are indeed usually faster than a PDA for many things. But where's the fun in that?  

Akita, Spitz and Collie images are uploading. Also a first true "hentges feed" (~200Mb) is uploading and should be available in 6-7hrs.

If everything goes as planned, users can upgrade their release w/ ipkg. Flashing will be mostly optional (tho might still be required for not-so-simple hacks (*cough* libsdl *cough*) and kernel upgrades)

The hentges feed consists of one common feed (type: *_arm.ipk) for all machines
and a machine-specific feed (*_${MACHINE}.ipk). In theory these feeds are an exact mirror of my feed@home from which the images are built.

Don't get me wrong: the hentges feed will be for OS-upgrades only! You still need the (pre-configured) OZ feeds to install new apps.

If this works out, you'll see far more upgrades than before since I won't have to upload ~1Gb of data for every release anymore

New images for SL-Cxx00 and Collie are online. There has been a typo in ipkg.conf (sigh), please
ipkg update / ipkg upgrade to install a hotfix.
