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 [...]
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 [...]
Another one of those very very short posts. If you have moblin installed on your netbook, and want to develop rpms on it, you can type in this command:
sudo yum groupinstall “Development Tools”
It should install all tools necessary for basic Moblin development. Ciao.
For those who don’t know what Gambas is, it is a free development environment based on a Basic interpreter with object extensions. I call it like VB on linux. You can make GUI programs in Qt or GTK+ and save your compiled application in RPM format.
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 [...]
A quick post on Moblin repository updates. I added wine 1.1.38 on my small Moblin repository.
Hi there guys,
I noticed moblin’s repository of packages are quite limited. Yes, I know, moblin is gonna be meego in Q2 2010, but for the moment, I need my application fix.
Presenting a little moblin rpm repository until I meego comes, or whatever…
Two applications are in there, GFtp and Gnumeric. Those applications fitted my [...]
Well, it’s a short post.
Since I was around the area and was more or less free during the time, I attended a short meeting with a local Linux Users Group at the G2iX Techbar, IT Park, Cebu City, of which I am a member.
There was basically a short talk on Liferay, an Open Source Portal, [...]
The way that Moblin is organized is, in my opinion, one of the best interfaces that I’ve seen in a linux distribution for netbooks. It simply is the best optimization of space for 8″ to 12″ screens.
