Crashdamage Posted May 15, 2004 Report Share Posted May 15, 2004 QUOTE tyme said: "Bastille may be a bit more work than I'm looking for right now, but I will look into it." That would be terrific. This is how to do a minor tweak to install it on 9.2 - maybe this will help simplify things for you: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/alex.bache/ma...ake-faq.html#7c Thanks!

MoonChild Posted May 16, 2004 Report Share Posted May 16, 2004 I don't know how popular GIS software is among users, but I for one, find them tremendously useful. I would love to see Quantum GIS (http://qgis.sf.net/) in an RPM format. The current versions is 0.2, and I have yet to find an RPM for Mandrake (there is a SuSE one I believe). The use for this is probably towards academians or people seriously using GIS in another field. Another application on the same lines is GRASS (http://grass.baylor.edu//), a complete GIS package first developed by the US Military. It is GPL'ed and has an installer (.sh script), but still, an RPM would be nice. There is one for the stable version (5.0) but the current development version is 5.7 if I recall well. The interesting thing is, GRASS is text-based, while QGIS (see above) has created a plugin to introduce a GUI to the application that is much more professional and efficient. These are the RPMs I am looking for around the internet and could not find yet. If you would be so kind to create them, I would be grateful.

Michel Posted May 16, 2004 Report Share Posted May 16, 2004 I might make that rpm for you, since we're using gis-software at school now... But it will take some time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris:b Posted May 16, 2004 Report Share Posted May 16, 2004 tyme, I just found Krecipes, on a site I've never seen before, some cool Mandrake rpm's there: http://nzlinux.orcon.net.nz/ Too bad, it's not your rpm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonChild Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 I might make that rpm for you, since we're using gis-software at school now... But it will take some time... Hey Michel!

Gowator Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 I had probs with the install of GRASS and hence GGIS... Cant say I tried too hard but .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furfurdemon666 Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 How about this one: Xnview IMO Xnview is a wonderful free image viewer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewski Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 Yes, xnview is great. But... isn't there a working RPM on their website? I'm pretty sure that's what I have installed on my computer at the moment... (Unless I'm mistaken about what tyme's goals are; does he want to make RPMs specifically for Mandrake even if working ones exist?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted May 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 (Unless I'm mistaken about what tyme's goals are; does he want to make RPMs specifically for Mandrake even if working ones exist?) my goal is to make RPMs for Mandrake 10.0 OE of programs that do not currently have an RPM which works in Mandrake 10.0 OE (or not an up-to-date one, for that matter).

jlc Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 I dont need it, but maybe others would enjoy an rpm of freedesktop.org xserver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qchem Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 I dont need it, but maybe others would enjoy an rpm of freedesktop.org xserver? Would it actually be possible to get other rpms to work with that? Especially if you wanted to use it as your sole X server - you would need all packages to be X agnostic.

tyme Posted May 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 The following are going to be the start: Gaim: http://gaim.sourceforge.net Jamboree: http://www.imendio.com/projects/jamboree/ KIso: http://kiso.sourceforge.net/ SuperKaramba: http://netdragon.sourceforge.net/ PerlPanel: http://jodrell.net/projects/perlpanel Gaim and Jamboree are personal choices of mine. The gaim version in 10.0 OE is a tad out-of-date and the new version as a lot of good updates. Jamboree just looks good, and seems like an alternative to Rhythmbox (which is still problematic - atleast for me). Qchem and myself are going to first see how building gaim goes, and if we can handle that we're going to move on to the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
