Mitter: A Twitter Client
 

This is a milestone for me as I figured out how to package a python app (yes laugh).

I can present:

Don't run off! Default interface is the gui in the first screenshot and can be invoked from the menu.

(Thanks to dick-richardson for testing and giving an idea of the desktop file)

It's also worth mentioning that the mitter crew made maemo specific stuff (like an interface) so kudos to them. I'm just a lowly packager :p

If anyone installed my previous deb, I highly recommend that you upgrade to this one as I've sorted out the icons and placed a entry in the application menu.

Tapping the tray icon seems to hang the program but pressing home works fine. (i'm not a python developer or a developer in general so I cannot fix but I think I'm pretty good to get this far :P)

dpkg-deb -b dir/ bla.deb

? :)

Re: Mitter: A Twitter Client
 

Seriously?

Damn, I went and used Gene Cash's pydist_debian script and edited the setup.py and went and repacked the deb afterwards :/

Adding Mitter to my Personal Menu.

Just so you know, with your original package the tray icon does not freeze the system...

Re: Mitter: A Twitter Client
 

dpkg-deb -b packages a ready directory structure + DEBIAN subdir with control file and everything you want to put there.

Re: Mitter: A Twitter Client
 

It doesn't freeze it in this one, I said it wrong, my bad.

Tapping the system icon looks like it has frozen but pressing home sets the focus.

Hi there! I'm the main developer of Mitter.

Just to let you know that I'm surprised that the interface actually worked on Maemo ;) I mean, we are not using Python-Maemo yet and I was expecting way uglier buttons. Kudos!

Do you mind if I put the deb available on the project page?

Re: Mitter: A Twitter Client
 

Hi,
Wow, glad to see you here and thanks for a brilliant program :)

Sure, it's your program :D

Re: Mitter: A Twitter Client
 

Oh, and please send the modifications you made. I would like to have them merged in the main repo, so it's easier to find everything.
