It helps indeed, if I am not the only one who reads your words. :)<div><br></div><div>Thank you very much for you insight!</div><div><br></div><div>Of course my words were not an attack, I really wanted to know why people may decide it's better to go that way instead of going on the one paved by Maemo.</div>

Hi Aniello,<br><br>My separate repository is not a permanent solution. I just wanted to give users a more intuitive way to install multiple inter-dependent packages without having to fiddle with dpkg CLI commands. <br><br>
I did give a try to uploading my packages to maemo-extras. I got the permissions and went halfway through the steps, after which I got the impression that the procedure needed autotools build system for the package. One of my packages uses SCons instead of autotools. My impression might be wrong, but I decided to postpone that investigation for a future release. And I fortunately got a way to setup a makeshift repo. <br>
<br>I know the advantages to the users if I use maemo-extras repo, instead of a private one-off. But until I get there, I wanted to push off a long-overdue app to the users and gather some feedback.<br><br>Hope that helps!<br>

Hi,<br><br>may I ask you the rationale behind your choice to use your own repository instead of using the devel-extras repository ?<br><br>Aniello<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/1/10 Jayesh Salvi <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jayeshsalvi@gmail.com" target="_blank">jayeshsalvi@gmail.com</a>></span><br>

You can check out the demo video <a href="http://blip.tv/file/1654627" target="_blank">here</a>.<br>
<br>You can try out the client yourself:<br>
<br>In the Maemo Application Manager, add following Catalog:<br><br>Name: <span style="font-weight:bold">Altcanvas</span><br>Web Address: <span style="font-weight:bold"><a href="http://repo.altcanvas.com" target="_blank">http://repo.altcanvas.com</a></span><br>
Distribution: <span style="font-weight:bold">testing</span><br>Components: <span style="font-weight:bold">main</span><br><br>Refresh the application list. You should see '<span style="font-weight:bold">twitter-inkface</span>' app in the list. All the dependencies will be automatically pulled from the repo.<br>
<br>In case you hit any problem with the repository (because it's my non-standard implementation of a debian repo :), you can download following four .deb files and install them "dpkg -i *.deb". <br><blockquote style="margin:1.5em 0pt">

<br>With this milestone, inkface libraries reach a v0.1.2. To know more about Inkface project, visit the <a href="http://code.google.com/p/altcanvas/wiki/InkFace" target="_blank">project page</a>.<br><br>Feedback is appreciated!!!<br>
