Re: Bug#400070: RFP: gaia -- Google Earth client

Hehe. Doubt that will have any effect, though. :) It will not address the problem for the most interesting material, though, as the google map data isn't GPL, and can not be claimed to be GPL. And a google earth clone is rather useless without permission to fetch data from google. I recommend earth3d and the NASA worldwind spinoffs if you want free map data. :) Call it a n00b question (ok, it IS a n00b question :) , but if the whole problem is about google's data, why don't google GPLs the program (google earth) ? -- Remember, remember the 8th of November...

Are you aware of module-assistant? module-assistant is cool, if you know that it exists (which you can't assume for the average user, i think) and have the guts to actually use it :) But since you mention it, module-assistant is a good example for the hardware support thing I mentioned before: it might not sound too complicated for us to re-run it every time aptitude bumped our kernel versions, but I think the average user, expects something like his to happen automatically. I'm really a noob when it comes to the kernel guts, but i wonder, can't it be made like updating /boot/grub/menu.lst with a new kernel version ? -- YUP! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Yes, you could in theory compile a kernel module package from another package's postinst, but: Perhaps using dependencies or /etc/apt/preferences ? 1. You would have to guarantee the right kernel headers are installed at the time. (You can't install them either, see the next point.) 2. You cannot install it, as you can't call dpkg from a postinst script, and dpkg does not yet have any “trigger” functionality that would run afterwards. Like, if you have a -src package, can't you determinate that the kernel to be installed will work with it by dependencies ? ( in this case matching the exact kernel headers|source version ) -- YUP!
libapt-pkg-ruby
Hi! Sometime ago, i've seen ( don't remember when or where ) a DD orphaning libapt-pkg-ruby. Where can i get it ( if it still exists, and no, google didn't helped much :( so that i can study and perhaps adopt it ? Or tell me that i haven't woken up yet. :) Sreehc! -- I cannot install on the driver, how does it work? You either can't telnet to the software, or should configure a AT controller over a front-side bus on the button. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
