Re: Debian Etch, Rebuilt: 6,451 .debs for Maemo 5
 
BTW - any chance of getting some of these packages into extras-devel? GNU Screen and git, for example?

I'm happy to help with that if you point me in the right direction.

I have added the repo and no faults show up. Still it looks empty. I have searched for some programs but not been able to find them.

I have checked apt-get, apt-cache and HAM.. but nothing.

To get screen, see my post #3 in thread http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=38428

There is also some general information about tools repositories.

Thanks - ISTR that with tools enabled, apt-get upgrade did something I don't want, so I don't have it enabled by default.

[/CODE]

It was back in December, but I think so. I would have mentioned it if it did not. I do not remember if libcurses had already been installed because of something else. I think not, because I would probably have tried putting the screen executable in usr/local/bin without installing it. I had done that with some other binaries, but it was nice to find a maemo package for it.

Maybe one of the maemo updates breaks installing screen and/or curses? Also, maybe I did not notice the postinstall error. Were left with a screen executable in your path or anywhere? Does it work?

You might also file a bug against the screen maemo package.

I thought apt-get upgrade was a no-no in maemo.

I have a similar problem to asys above: I have used the install file from Obra, but the catalogue shows up as empty in my Application Manager.

I have disabled all other catalogues. When I do an update, the log files shows a whole long list of :

apt-worker: Ignoring version from wrong domain base-files 4
apt-worker: /var/lib/apt/lists/obra.freemoe.org_freemoe-etch_packages

etc
etc


PR1.2 - shouldn't have an impact, right?

Re: Debian Etch, Rebuilt: 6,451 .debs for Maemo 5
 
wmctrl would be very nice to have in Maemo Extras. It is an integral part of the keyboard focus hack.

EDIT: I just put the wmctrl source files from Jebba's repo into the Extras Assistant and it seemed to build OK. So that means wmctrl should show up in Extras-devel soon now.

same issue here...Jebba? something wrong?

What happened to this repo? I'd like to check it out but it seems down

jebba 2010-12-09 20:30

Re: Debian Etch, Rebuilt: 6,451 .debs for Maemo 5
 
I have stopped doing Maemo development and that repo is no longer available.

I can give someone access to the files if they copy them to a new server they maintain.

Re: Debian Etch, Rebuilt: 6,451 .debs for Maemo 5
 
what's the compressed archive size? I'm sure I can find a server to plop it on for posterity sake.

qole 2010-12-10 05:36

Re: Debian Etch, Rebuilt: 6,451 .debs for Maemo 5
 
I could host it at qole.org as well... I supposedly have unlimited bandwidth and I haven't been hassled about any of my Easy Debian downloads, which can be north of 70 GB a month for Dreamhost...

Captwheeto 2010-12-11 20:34

Re: Debian Etch, Rebuilt: 6,451 .debs for Maemo 5
 
I would really like this a lot. Is there any guide out there which is pretty thorough in how to port applications from Debian to maemo? I've been wanting finch for so long you see.

qole 2010-12-12 01:04

Re: Debian Etch, Rebuilt: 6,451 .debs for Maemo 5
 
jebba: thanks for re-activating the repo. Any chance of tarring it all up for us and leaving it somewhere, so I can get a copy for my repo?

Crogge 2010-12-12 01:12

Re: Debian Etch, Rebuilt: 6,451 .debs for Maemo 5
 
Just PM me if you need a new host for the files

Shouldn't wget -m or wget -r work?

qole 2010-12-12 04:15

Re: Debian Etch, Rebuilt: 6,451 .debs for Maemo 5
 
So far, no luck. I tried from dreamhost, and it first downloads all sorts of spurious index.html files and a bunch of multi-gigabyte facebook name lists. I tried again with
Code:

wget http://obra.freemoe.org -m -R index.html*,facebook*
and that was working for a while (~20 minutes) and then I got:
Quote:

Yikes! One of your processes (wget, pid 16102) was just killed because your processes are, as a whole, consuming too much memory. If you believe you've received this message in error, please contact Support.
I guess I could try with my own machine, but the bandwidth is a lot more limited...

The simplest method is to post a freemoe-etch.tar.bz2 file.

qole 2010-12-12 04:35

Re: Debian Etch, Rebuilt: 6,451 .debs for Maemo 5
 
Tried again. wget 1.11.4 (the version in use on my dreamhost server) doesn't seem to want to get the files at the end of each directory (files like the ones in this directory). I don't know why... :confused:

EDIT: Same thing's happening on my home computer, running Lucid's wget 1.12! HUH?!

Re: Debian Etch, Rebuilt: 6,451 .debs for Maemo 5
 
Have you specified -r so that it will download recursively?
Works for me if i want a copy of a website along with the files. :)

EDIT: It has started. Will see about the results. If i get some packages, i'd say it works.
But so far, no .deb files.
Might have something to do about recursion depth.
Ok... not recursion depth.

I cant figure this out, either. :confused: (Attempting from Ubuntu Maverick with wget 1.12)

dazzakoh 2010-12-13 09:22

Re: Debian Etch, Rebuilt: 6,451 .debs for Maemo 5
 
Did wget with -r as well yesterday.. Again, only blank folders created: unable to get to the files... Running Debian Testing

Captwheeto 2010-12-13 10:55

Re: Debian Etch, Rebuilt: 6,451 .debs for Maemo 5
 
Have you told it to ignore robots?

jebba 2010-12-13 20:52

Re: Debian Etch, Rebuilt: 6,451 .debs for Maemo 5
 
Well, you should be able to get wget to work, but even better is rsync along the lines of:

Code:

mkdir myfreemoedir

rsync \
-ulta \
-v --progress --stats \
rsync://obra.freemoe.org/obra/freemoe-etch-OPTIFIED/ \
myfreemoedir

There are a few repos there, some optified, some not. Nokia never fixed broken optification, so many optified apps are still fkted, this many months later...

https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7707

The repos are between 7 and 10 gigs each.

Just out of curiosity,

Is there a similar build attempt of relatively new Debian squeeze packages for Maemo5?

leetnoob 2011-01-28 09:16

Re: Debian Etch, Rebuilt: 6,451 .debs for Maemo 5
 
I have 2 questions:

1. Is there any advantage to using a repo like this over installing easy debian and installing packages there?

2. If so , the repo seems down, did anyone manage to re-host it?

The advantage is that the packages on such a repo do not have to run in an alternate (chroot = changed root) filesystem such as easy-debian, they can be run natively from the n900.

I second this query. Could really use those packages right now.
