iFolder – why do they let us alone …

… I contributed much time to the iFolder project and helped where possible. But since last December the commits in the public svn ceased. No more updates. The promised new wiki is not deployed and there’s no communication on the opensource/developers mailingslists.

Dear people in the iFolder departement @novell : „WHY DO YOU LET US ALONE??“

You always said „we have little resources“ and so on. Why in hell do you scare testers/coders/enthusiasts away ?!

The code of iFolder is GPL – at least the code in svn i know of. But atm is seems to be gone closed-source (ok, its your code) WITHOUT ANNOUNCEMENT.

I’m angry not because you’ve probably decided to go closed-source, but because you don’t TALK to people.

After 3 month (!) – online again …

I managed to update the repositories now, but some bughunting remains !

DSL broken

My DSL is broken atm … no posts 😦

linCWT #2

At least the GUI and some basic sound ouput is working atm … now all the callbacks need to be coded and the morse-magic needs also some work.

linCWT

When learning morse code for my ham-radio license, i loved the program CWT. It’s a really good morse trainer for dos.

I started to write a clone for Linux (and probably Win) using gtk/glade.

Let’s see how far i’ll get.

iFolder 3.6 – release soon ?

The documentation in svn got updated – a good sign for all members of the iFolder community, as i think. Nearly all features are complete, most bugs are fixed and some still being fixed. The next rocking release will be out soon !

Yesterday, I send in my logfiles of a 30GB sync. The’ll be used to trace a bug in simias. The other issue is related to a bug in mono/xsp! -> So we have to wait for mono 1.2.5 !!

I’m curious about the overall sync-speed. For now, my values are too bad for comparison (related to the bug and the retransmission-rate).

Cu !

obs up and running!

Around 10:00 AM the build service is running again. Good work guys!

Who hit the red button ?!

Today morning (MEZ) the openSUSE buildservice had a planned 2h downtime – but now (10h later) its still down. Seems like the’ve some serious network-problems 😦 .

Hopefully the’ll be able to recover all data. Fingers crossed !

Btw. I need to redo the Fedora rpms of iFolder, as i took some false package-names in the dependencies. Just installed Fedora 7 and checked locally.

hamradio packages

For openSUSE distributions 10.0, 10.1, 10.2 and upcoming 10.3, Tim Fischer and myself are maintaining a repository of software packages in the openSUSE build service.

The binaries can be found here:

Please report issues to the ham mailinglist of opensuse !

openSUSE buildservice

Tnx to bernadl who provides the hosting, here is an VMware-image

described inside the README.html on the Desktop.

Have Phun !
