ARM/N900/CoolStuff

Latest revision as of 11:17, 9 August 2011

Applications and accessories

These apps are candidates to be included in the CE configuration and/or should be put to MeeGo apps. Feel free to add your stuff, after you have verified it on current MeeGo 1.2 image on N900.

Please report the bugs on these applications to the upstream developers, not to the bugs.meego.com.
Ensure bug reporting mechanism is listed for each cool app

Not going to integrated with Community edition, but looking into having it in apps.meego.com.

MeeGo Community Extras Client

• Developer: Martin Grimme
  
• https://gitorious.org/meego-community-extras-client
• Demo version (not working with OCS backend): http://repo.pub.meego.com/home:/pycage/DE_Trunk/armv7hl/

Problem, it needs libattica but RPM doesn't download it automatically? (Jukka)
RPM itself doesn't download automatically. It downloads automatically if you use zypper after adding the repo
file from http://repo.pub.meego.com/home:/pycage/DE_Trunk/ (pycage)

CacheMe

An online geocaching application using Qt and QtMobility: http://build.pub.meego.com/package/show?package=cacheme&project=home%3Aharbaum

Beware: This is actually untested on MeeGo, but works nicely in Symbian, Maemo5, Windows and Desktop Linux, so MeeGo should work. Please give feedback to harbaum@#meego-arm

armv7hl is now in http://repo.pub.meego.com/home:/harbaum/DE_Trunk/

To install:

   zypper ar -f http://repo.pub.meego.com/home:/harbaum/DE_Trunk/ cacheme
   zypper in cacheme
