Gpe 2.8 Released. How Can We Use It On Our Zaurii?
« on: August 07, 2007, 09:09:24 am »
LinuxToGo announces GPE 2.8 release. They mention Maemo (for N770) and OpenEmbedded but neither OpenZaurus nor Ångström. I'd would love to try it out on my SL-C860 currently running OZ 3.5.4.1. Can I?

Does anyone already use Angstrom/GPE for simple PIM?

Where to see which packages are 2.8 ? The versions only show something like
angstrom-gpe-task-base 1.0-r32 and gpe-task-base 1.0-r3 which is not very helpful in figuring out I am afraid.

Is it a seperate feed ? ipkg update;ipkg upgrade did not seem to fetch new gpe pacakges.
