Quick short post.

Arora 0.10.2 - Moblin

Since I’ve been working on the windows installers for arora – I realized there were no arora rpms for moblin.
Presenting arora 0.10.2 rpms on moblin. Fast, lightweight and excellent flash support too (flash seems to play faster in moblin than on firefox).
Get it from the ibiblio moblin repository now.

Short post: just had a first taste of the Proposed Repository Working Group meeting for Meego over irc. Nothing much yet, there’s still stuff the group have to find out more on the build system, but at least progress has been made.
Anyways, initial writeup for the draft of mission and scope of the team [...]

Linux Manga, Anyone?

If you have some friends that like these kinds of art, and would like to introduce linux to them, why not give them a manga-styled comic that teaches them linux?

OpenOffice 3.2.0 in aLinux

One of those very short postings. I created a metapackage rpm for the Open Office 3.2.0 suite in aLinux and passed it through the contribs section of aLinux.

Funny, I see my last rpm contributions [...]

How To Create Your Own Yum Repository in Moblin

I received a question from an email on how to create your own yum repository.
I am basing it on Moblin/Meego, but should mostly work on Fedora/RedHat too.
I am assuming that you have already installed the development tools of Moblin in your installed Moblin distribution by using this command:
sudo yum groupinstall “Development Tools”
To start, we install [...]

From a comment in one of my blog articles, WINE 1.1.40 is now available on the official aLinux rpm repository. Please update your aLinux 12.9 through synaptic now!

aLinux 12.9 - A Blast From the Past

I’ve been experimenting with linux since mid to late 1990s and started with single 3.5 linux disks. I remember fondly downloading for over an hour using dialup trilinux and monkeylinux and experimenting with the command line on such curiousities for hours on end.

Just a short post.
I’ve been working on getting my small, but hopefully growing moblin (but soon to be meego) rpm repository hosted somewhere. It’s still not final yet, but I’ll keep you posted.
Exciting times indeed.
Update: The kind guys at ibiblio have decided to host my little repository on their mirror list. I’ll be [...]
