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.

Re: Debian Etch, Rebuilt: 6,451 .debs for Maemo 5

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.

Re: Debian Etch, Rebuilt: 6,451 .debs for Maemo 5

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

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.

Re: Debian Etch, Rebuilt: 6,451 .debs for Maemo 5

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.
