Arora 0.10.2 – Moblin

clintcan — Fri, 26 Mar 2010 22:40:24 +0000

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.

OpenOffice 3.2.0 in aLinux

clintcan — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 01:39:12 +0000

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.

Should have Open Office in aLinux soon enough.

Update: Ok, it’s now in the contribs directory in the aLinux site (ibiblio): http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/peanut/contribs/RPMS/COMMUNITY/Clint/

Funny, I see my last rpm contributions from aLinux 12.7 – it should work there I think… I really need to update those!

How to enable Development Tools on Moblin

clintcan — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 04:23:55 +0000

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.

Gambas2 in Moblin; RPMS in Ibiblio

clintcan — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 13:51:28 +0000

Hi all,

I added Gambas2 for moblin with a few caveats:
- no mysql for gambas
- no kde for gambas
- no firebird for gambas

This is because these libs are not available in the official moblin repository, and I, as much as possible follow dependencies on the main repository.

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.

Also, the moblin repository for ostalks is now in ibiblio. ~~It should be up shortly (I’ll update this blog when the files are fully uploaded).~~

Update: Moblin rpms are now hosted at ibiblio

Just copy and paste this text for your moblin repository.

[ostalks_moblin]
name=OStalks Moblin Repo $releasever – $basearch
baseurl=http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/ostalks/moblin/RPMS/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

It should be available here:

http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/ostalks

Have fun!

On The Way To A Small Moblin/Meego Repository Elsewhere

clintcan — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 07:00:44 +0000

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 recompiling and re-uploading those files soon to the new location.

Wine 1.1.38 In Moblin

clintcan — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 00:54:50 +0000

Again,

A quick post on Moblin repository updates.

I added wine 1.1.38 on my small Moblin repository. Aside from this, I added sane-backend, libieee1284. I also backported latest gphoto2 and libgphoto2 sources into moblin as well.

This should all be working properly. If there are any dependencies which I forgot to upload, please do inform me.

RPM Repository Added

clintcan — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 11:26:38 +0000

Since I’ve been able to get a new webhost (and lots of space and unlimited bandwidth), I’ve decided to share with you some rpms I’ve compiled and used on the machines I’ve been running. All of these files are open source licensed, so feel free to download these files.

What’s in the repository? ffmpeg, mysql-cluster, apache gotten from the RH repository (it’s the latest apache version), among other things.

Some special sauce have been added, like ffmpeg able to use speex codecs (which the rpmforge repositories cannot use), and php-ffmpeg, and some special php extensions which are not installed by default by plain vanilla php.

To access this repository, just get this file below:

http://ostalks.com/ostalks.repo

And place it in your yum.repos.d folder.

Have fun!
