Ok, a few more days of work and I now have new packages up for testing and they are apt'able.
deb http://people.debian.org/~rkrusty/ opie unstable Notes: This is for i386 only. That means we are not looking to test whether the apps work on a Zaurus or iPAQ. What I need is help with the Debian aspects of this. Are the files being put in the proper places on the filesystem so that they both work and follow Debian policy? Is the package layout proper? Are there packages which should be merged with others or are there apps that should be broken out into their own packages? Things like that. You may need qvfb in order to test these: apt-get install qt3-dev-tools-embedded just run qvfb & and then launch qpe or whatever. When I went to break out the packages I found that package breakout that already existed within the project (not sure if this is just carry down from Qtopia or not) was probably the best thing to follow. (if you look at the source you'll find .control files all over the place...each one represents a package and is very similar to debian/control and even tells you what files make up the package. I used this as a template and pretty much followed it. So what does this mean to you? Well, it means that from a single source package I ended up with something like 142 packages. I had thought that I had a crapload of packages when I was dealing with all the KDE stuff but damn! :) I'm going to hear it from the ftpmasters when I go to upload this so lets be sure to make sure this is what we want. My opinion is that it's for Embedded systems so the ability to pick exactly what you want installed and limit the size of your system is *very* important. umm..and finally something that I was thinking as I was looking at all of these damn packages. I think we might need a new package section. Some sort of Embedded section equivilant to X11 which currently exists. In trying to figure out what sections all of these packages belong to (which is another thing I need people to help with) I kept wanting to put things in x11. This would not (of course) be accurate since they are not x11 apps. Maybe we need a "embed" section for these. What do you think? Ivan -- ---------------- Ivan E.
