For obvious reasons, I’m dropping support for SUSE packages on my personal repository. I’m still trying to find some quality time to maintain my Fedora packages, which is very difficult for me, considering OpenSUSE Build Service only provides i386 support, and I use x86_64. Maybe I’ll need to run my own build service with Mock.

Dropping SUSE packages
May 6th, 2007 — fedora, packages, suse
inkblot-0.99.8
March 18th, 2007 — packages
libinklevel-0.7.0 + ink-0.4.0
March 18th, 2007 — packages
As per Herbert Graeber’s request, I have updated my package for libinklevel to 0.7.0. I also added ink, a command line tool to check ink levels.
BTW, kink is not compiling with this new release of libinklevel, so I’m working on a patch, and also trying to package inkblot.
For those who missed, here’s the link for the repository (Fedora + SUSE).
Friendly notice about my packages
March 11th, 2007 — packages
If you rely on the packages on my repository for your every day use, please, don’t. I’m currently unavailable to work on them, and it’s possible that they very outdated. OTOH, if you would like me to support some specific package, and you can’t roll it on your own, please, drop me a line and I’ll try to update it ASAIC.
Democracy Player for SUSE 10.1
December 8th, 2006 — packages
After a lot of work I got Democracy Player to build on SUSE 10.1. The packages are on my personal repository.
Unfortunately I’m having issues while running it, since I get some SEGFAULTs when opening it, and I still couldn’t figure out what’s wrong. I’m quite sure it has something to do with my huge mix of 3rd party repos. If someone could test and report your experiences (in the comments section bellow), it would be much appreciated.
Also, I could not make it work for 10.0, and I won’t even try. After the 5th package I had to backport from 10.1 to 10.0, I just decided it was too risky that I would break someone’s system, and give up. OTOH, I think I’ll have a 10.2 package pretty soon.
Have fun! ![]()
netmask RPMs for openSUSE 10.2
December 8th, 2006 — packages, suse
I’ve just rebuild the packages on my repository on the openSUSE Build Service into openSUSE 10.2, even though I haven’t upgraded my own computers yet. Soon I’ll be reviewing all of them checking for new releases, and add some others that I’m preparing.
ipw2200-1.2.0
November 1st, 2006 — packages
New package added to my repository: ipw2200-1.2.0.
I needed to upgrade my wireless driver, so I built my own package.
[UPDATE] Currently it only builds on SUSE 10.1, but 10.0 is WIP.
pam_abl-0.2.3-9.1
October 31st, 2006 — packages
New package added to my repository: pam_abl-0.2.3-9.1.
My new repository using OpenSUSE Build Service
June 21st, 2006 — packages, suse
Yes! OpenSUSE Build Service rocks hard!
I decided to start using this new and awesome service from the nice people that make SUSE Linux. It’s a very comples compilation farm where people put their spec files and sources and build RPM packages for various SUSE releases (from 9.0 up to 10.1) and even other distributions (currently Fedora and Mandriva).
Using this so neat service I can build packages for SUSE Linux 10.0 and 10.1 either on i586 or x86_64 with mere 2 or 3 commands. After successfuly building, the packages are copied to an ftp area, the repository metadata is generated, and everything is automatically mirrored. Is it possible to be any easier?
I’m currently working to move all my packages from the old repository to the new one. So if you would like to give it a try, you just need to add the repositories for 10.0 or 10.1 on your package manager of choice. Mine is (obviously) smart, so, the trick is:
10.0
smart channel –add http://software.opensuse.org/download/home:/netmask/SUSE_Linux_10.0/home:netmask.repo
10.1
smart channel –add http://software.opensuse.org/download/home:/netmask/SUSE_Linux_10.1/home:netmask.repo
I hope my packages are usefull to anyone other than me.
By the way, I’m always open to new suggestions if you need something I could help providing.
Have fun!
