Me too. I'm still using cbrPager and I would like to see new alternatives in the N900.

I'm working on it right now. :) Most things are working already but there are still some glitches. Also, for some reason things that don't need modification on Fremantle with CSSU break quite horribly on Vanilla (PR 1.3) Fremantle. Might be due to older Qt (4.7.0 vs 4.7.4 in CSSU) and PySide.

I plan to support both - looks like the version for Fremantle CSSU can share the same QML files with Harmattan while Fremantle Vanilla needs separate "forked" files due to specific Qt Components namespace (org.maemo.fremantle) and all the glitches.

I would say that at some point it will be unavoidable to need CSSU for developing new applications. Imagine when Qt 4.8 becomes available, so I would suggest you not to bother with vanilla PR1.3 but at least try to keep it in good shape with Stable CSSU.

Re: [Announce] Mieru: a flexible manga and comic book reader

Updated package for Maemo 5 Fremantle with CSSU
So I finally worked out most of the quirk for running Mieru 2.x on Fremantle and made an installable package. :) It's manual installation only for the moment though I plan to also properly update the package in Extras in due time. This package also basically requires CSSU - you can install it even without it but quite a lot important things (like page fitting) just don't work properly, most probably to old & broken Qt/QML/PySide version.

If you spot some bugs or other issues, please let me know. :)

How to install ?
First, you need to became root.
Then, install all the needed dependencies:

Code:

apt-get install qt-components-10 libzip1 unrar python-pyside.qtgui python-pyside.qtdeclarative

Uninstall the currently installed mieru package, just to be sure (all your settings/history will be untouched by this):

Code:

apt-get remove mieru

Download the package somewhere:

Code:

wget http://m4rtink.github.com/mieru/packages/mieru_2.2.27_armel.deb

And install it:

Code:

dpkg -i mieru_2.2.27_armel.deb

How to return to the old interface:
Just uninstall the package and install it from Extras-devel:

Code:

apt-get remove mieru

apt-get update

apt-get install mieru

How to go to the task switcher ?/ How to minimize Mieru ?

Tap the upper left corner. :)

How to shutdown Mieru ?

There is a Quit button in the main menu.

Hmm, maybe try to uninstall Mieru first and do a clean install ?

Code:

apt-get remove mieru

dpkg -i mieru_2.2.27_armel.deb

P.s. I do have CSSU and the other mentioned packages installed.

Re: [Announce] Mieru: a flexible manga and comic book reader

Okay, did a rm -rf /opt/mieru and a reinstall and now it works!

(only saw the warning
/opt/mieru/gui/qml_gui.py:38: GtkWarning: gtk_widget_set_sensitive: assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed)

Edit: interface looks beautiful.

Nice !

Rm-rf-ing the /opt/mieru folder should be safe as all user data is stored in ~/.mieru anyway. :)

I'll try to reproduce the issue (eq. installing the package over the version from Extras) tomorrow and find a fix for it. :)

I get it too - doesn't seem to cause any harm though. The line it points to is just the instantiation of the main QApplication, nothing special.

BTW, anynone else get those startup errors, this how you can start Mieru directly, without the startup script in /usr/bin/mieru:

Code:

python /opt/mieru/mieru.py -u harmattan -p maemo5
