erm...one last thing...can someone who knows how to really do this meecolay thing please try the latest wazapp from wazapp.im and let us know if it actually works?...PLEASE

[EDIT]just found it..."has no installation candidate" were the words I was looking for...

3. dpkg -x package.deb /

after step 3 nothing happens...

a. specifically, what directory is that / pointing to?
b. since i'm running from MyDocs how will i type in the path to extract to?
c. I do recall marmistrz saying we shouldn't run apps as root...is this the same as "installing under gainroot" and then later calling meecolay opt/bin/ under the same "gainroot" permission?

please help...
You did the worst thing you could ever do. If you don't know the basics of Linux, you shouldn't touch stuff like that. Wait for the GUI, or donate if you want to get the early versions and then the final one without ads. (all the people who don't donate will have the version with ads).

I hear you boss...but I am a developer too so I do understand the risks that come with these things and I have never minded learning the hard way...but I'll take your advice and learn some linux based kernel stuff...

Thanks again...any word on when the GUI will be coming out?...

Basically, the very-early version should be matter of days, I just need to polish up the things that are already working, but it'll be available to donors only. The final version will be free, but non-donors will have to get on with ads. The early versions will have only basic features, the other features will be added over time.

Extracting to "/" is not a very good idea, btw, as it's not as-easily-as-dpkg removable.

Cozzbie: you might want to use python2.7 package and its contents.

@sifo: wow thanks for testing...but come on...you know you the man right, and @marmistrz the boss has said we could try with python 2.7 packages...we need you @sifo *teacher*...we need you...

@marmistrz: I really have absolutely no idea how to get that python package anyway...just found a post where they said maemo python version has stopped at 2.6..*bummer*...thanks anyway...you are the man...

Plus it would be much appreciated if someone(subliminally calling on @sifo ) could try your(marmistrz) advice(load up python 2.7) and see if wazzap works...especially because wazapp seems like a big deal on the maemo..

.@marmistrz and @sifo...thanks a bunch
