Notices

Late due to dependencies missing in Fremantle until yesterday (python-numpy and its deps.) and The Very Old Version of scons in the Maemo SDK.
Furthered by Living In Sweden (not favored by Nokia - the Finns never really forgave us for Centuries Of Oppression we imposed on them) - got my n900 a couple of days ago from Nokia.com store as no retailers are selling them here yet. (yes - I know it was an SIM issue with the Evil Provider 3 (tm))
This is a straight port from Debian Squeeze - mainly changes to the build system (scons-local, debhelper, swig workaround) and small changes for Hildon compliance - Finger Friendly Menus, StackableWindows &c.
Upstream Changelog:

new color selector...



suggested pressure setting above... Still needed after ghost line fix...

Install:
The Usual Warnings (may brick your device &c.)
install gainroot
Enable the extras-devel repository http://wiki.maemo.org/Extras-devel
as root:
apt-get install libblas3gf liblapack3gf pymaemo-optify python-numpy

Are blas and lapack fixed in extras-devel?
(Fix broken blas and lapack for python-numpy:
as root:
cd /usr/lib/
ln -s libblas.so.3gf libblas.so
ln -s liblapack.so.3gf.0 liblapack.so

Download mypaint-data and mypaint from links below:
cd /to/where/you/got/the/files/
dpkg -i mypaint-data_0.7.1-2maemo4_all.deb mypaint_0.7.1-2maemo4_armel.deb

Issues:
- Somehow the pressure readings from gtk are inverted and within a very small range (0,05 to 0,250). I am not sure where this bug is (X, GTK or...)
(To look at what the pressure readings say - start mypaint from console and turn on the debug dialog)
Fortunately you can compensate for that in the new Global Pressure Settings dialog.
Bug filed: https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8435
- The lack of available non-keyboard hardware buttons on n900 (audio/zoom has to be implemented - there are some python examples scattered on the net)

Stable: Mypaint 0.7.1

EDIT:
Experimental (but very usable) Mypaint 0.8.2 packages are now in extras-devel thanks to Aapo.
enable extras-devel as described above...

as root
apt-get install mypaint mypaint-data python-support python-hildon python-osso

cd /usr/lib/
ln -s libblas.so.3gf libblas.so
ln -s liblapack.so.3gf.0 liblapack.so

should do it...
Issues:
Fremantle UI not feature complete yet, and maybe some small bugs. I recommend it highly though...
And as always - disable extras-devel when you are finished...

Thanks for the work!

It is nice to be able to quickly work on images on the N900.

Wonderful, glad to have MyPaint back!
I volunteer for the job of "clueless users" :-)

Hey, thanks !! I hope it will be in Extras soon

Good news! Just what I was waiting for

Nice work!
Would love to see this app up and working! Thumbs up, and a big thanks!

Grreat! Just as I was mentioning about a little program that could do this.. and this thread popped up. Keep it up!

Well, I'm super excited about this. As the built in sketch app is nice, but bake it unnecessarily difficult to really enjoy drawing with it. But that's just IMO.

I think you must pack it and upload it to extras-devel if you want some attention and bug submissions!

Good job!

wow. great!.. I'll wait for this one..
