So, is the version thats showing in updates from qole's repo newer? When I installed tear, I d/l the most recent deb.

i would say that unless qole comes here and says he has uploaded the latest, turn his repo of for now to avoid confusion.

I have to agree: Bundyo needs write access to that repository. Period. Two periods. If he already does have access, that would make the 2nd mirror; two-more than most. And that should be enough I would think.

I am coming here to say I've got the latest version (0.3 pre 6) in my repo. Any time Bundyo posts here saying he's updated, I immediately upload that version to the repo.

When Bundyo posted this, I immediately went to my repo and uploaded that version.

Have there been problems? It looks like Uncle Pee got it no problem...

But yes. The versioning needs a bit of work. 0.3-pre6 would be better than just 0.3

It is 0.3-6, which apt-get should/would handle just fine :P Anyway, I'll rename the next one (or maybe even this one if you prefer). Though I don't know if 0.3-pre6 would update 0.3-6 or the other way round

For some reason, it only shows as 0.3 in the Application Manager. There's no mention of the -6, which is confusing people. "Should I update this? It looks the same as the last version... 0.3..."

Makes sense :/:

Sorry to be blunt, but if you're manually doing this you're a single point of failure in a process that you're currently not really a part of. It's noble but brittle. I'm invoking Murphy's law here and challenging you to fix it. It's a bad president precedent.

I upgraded from qole's repo this morning and definitely got the latest rev, as it connected to the network automatically, like a proper browser should. This was my pet peeve with the previous ones, thanks Bundyo :-)

I would say that until the various prerequisites to promote Tear to maemo-extras-something are fulfilled, qole is doing the general public a service. An exception that confirms the rule, and all that.

Well, hopefully I won't have to do this for much longer; Bundyo has made it clear that he is planning to push things to Extras soon, especially now that Jaffa has made things all Vala friendly.

If putting Tear in my repository during the early development days is causing more problems than it solves, I can remove it. I made the repository (1) as a place to put my beta-level packages, and (2) to collect the "lost apps of ITT" that get posted here but nowhere else. Tear is a bit of an exception; it is in Garage, but isn't in a repository yet. People were having issues installing it, so I thought a repo would ease the install process.
