- gpg.load_keys() used to return the last UID as the name for a key. I think it's more sensible to return the first. - Some feeds (*cough*mine*cough*) use pretty high resolution icons; to prevent the feed list getting ridiculously large cap the size of the icons to the "normal" icon size. - Add "--addmenu" option to 0launch to generate menu icons. Probably useful for 0export. - As suggested earlier, make 0publish-gui use gpg.load_keys() instead of running gpg once for each secret key found. hth, - f.r. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/_______________________________________________ Zero-install-devel mailing list Zero-install-devel< at >lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge

Blender Apricot project

Thomas Formella — 2008-09-08T19:12:46

Just found this one: 'After Orange and Peach, Blender Institute continues with a new open project: Apricot. This time it isn’t a movie but a 3D game! Starting february 1st 2008, a small team of again the best 3D artist and developers will develop a game jointly with the on-line community. The main characters in the game are based on the short 3D animation open movie Peach. At the end of July 2008 the production ends and August is used for DVD and documentation making. Releasing the game at end of August.' Now the interesting part: 'You can now test the Linux (well, for Intel machines) packages for the “CrystalSpace Edition” of YoFrankie. There are basically two ways to obtain it: Automatic downloading: go to http://crystalspace3d.org/downloads/YoFrankie/YoFrankie.xml and follow the instructions on screen. This will download all required packages etc. onto your system and has the added advantage that the program can be kept up-to-date automatically as well - i.e. when a change is made, ei

0launch 0.36

Thomas Leonard — 2008-09-06T11:53:52

A new release of Zero Install (0.36) is now available: http://0install.net/injector.html Changes since 0.35: Note that although some changes have been made to better support Windows, this is untested. We are still looking for volunteers to test and debug it on Windows. - Update the display less frequently while downloading Debian bug #497569 says downloading uses 100% CPU (Simon Wenner). Not sure if this is the reason, but we're probably updating the display too frequently anyway. - Reject URIs without a path component (e.g. http://host). - Don't assume an RPM-based distribution just because /var/lib/rpm exists. Actually check for the /var/lib/rpm/Packages file instead (reported by Demetrio Girardi). - Reject obvious attempts to drag archives to 0desktop. People keep trying to drag .exe, .tar.bz2, etc archives to 0desktop. Reject URLs ending in these strings with a more helpful error message (rather than downloading them and complaining that it's not XML). - Record architecture for D

CPU load when downloading

Thomas Leonard — 2008-09-04T18:52:10

Is anyone experiencing high CPU load when downloading things, as in this bug report? http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=497569 I've made a couple of changes to try and make it faster: http://repo.or.cz/w/zeroinstall.git (please check that it still works!)

News keys for crystalspace3d.org

Thomas Leonard — 2008-09-04T17:48:49

Hi Frank, The feeds on crystalspace3d.org have changed their GPG key to: 517085B7261D3B03A97515319C2C2CD1D41AF5BB Is this your new key? It's not signed by either of the previous two... Thanks,

0launch fails,RPM database and implementations missing (?)

Demetrio Girardi — 2008-09-04T10:44:59

Hello, 0lauching the lyx feed fails, giving a warning about a missing /var/lib/rpm/Packages file, and saying that there are no implementations for the feed. Is this a problem of the feed, or of RPM? the latter is installed on this (freebsd) machine but I don't know how it is configured and I don't have root access. Attached is the verbose output. How should I proceed? thanks in advance.

Proposal for a "never seen" system based on Zero Install with Web 2.0 approach

Antonio Orlando — 2008-09-01T17:06:12

I want to propose here a system I've envisioned, where Zero Install would be perfect as a core. As system I mean something that could be an application normally loadable in the preferred platform (Linux, Windows, Mac, etc.), integrated with a web service, but for simplicity let's think at it like a Linux distro, and for more simplicity let's think at it as a live one. So, I load this live distro, and it asks for some user/password to connect to the companion web service, or offers the possibility to "register". The companion web service is essentially a database storing some infos: urls of apps, names, descriptions, stars, hearts, etc. Let's say I already have my account, so I type my credentials and here we go: my custom "desktop" is built on the fly with informations retrieved from the web service. Let's say I've not marked any app as "visible on desktop", so my desktop will be like this: Just a text-input field in the bottom bar, with two buttons: "Search", "Run the first one" an

Using the architecture field from nativepackages

Thomas Leonard — 2008-08-23T11:55:21

We used to assume that a native package had an arch type of '*' (i.e. it would always be compatible with everything). However, on a mixed 32 and 64 bit platform, we can't use a 64-bit native library with a downloaded 32-bit implementation. I've changed the code to record the type for x86_64 packages so that they won't be selected in combination with 32-bit implementations: http://repo.or.cz/w/zeroinstall.git?a=commit;h=a1980f1fd207d171d480049a1890ffdb0f72ed02 We might need a similar change for RPMs too. Patches welcome...

Downloads page and Windows

Thomas Leonard — 2008-08-20T18:36:24

The downloads page was getting a bit long and complicated. I've split it into different pages for each platform: http://0install.net/injector.html This gives us some space to put in more detailed instructions, although currently it's just what was on the main page. Contributions welcome! I have, however, tested it on a Windows machine and thus greatly extended the Windows installation instructions. Still doesn't work, but if you'd like to help out here are some hints: http://0install.net/install-windows.html There seem to be some odd problems with file descriptors, backslashes, and DOS line-endings. The usual suspects. Help welcome!

Distribution integration / OpenGL dependency

0launch 0.35

Thomas Leonard — 2008-08-16T14:59:52

A new release of Zero Install (0.35) is now available: http://0install.net/injector.html Changes since 0.34: New features: - Added support for multi-arch We can choose either x86_64 binaries or i[3456]86 binaries, but we can't mix both in a single process. Also fixed the sense of the OS and CPU tests so that we now pick the best OS and CPU match rather than the worst (oops!). - Added --cpu and --os arguments to 0launch This allows you to choose a binary for a different host. It's also useful on an x86_64 machine to run an x86 binary. Bug-fixes: - Don't create .desktop filenames with spaces; xdg-desktop-menu gets confused and gives a misleading error message ("does not have a proper vendor prefix") if the name contains a space. Reported by Thomas Formella. - Allow file:///path feed URIs. This is equivalent to just using /path. Useful for drag-and-drop from Konqueror. Reported by Matt Lawrence. - Log a useful warning if a user_overrides file gets corrupted. Don't know what co

Style changes to web-site

Thomas Leonard — 2008-08-12T18:16:46

I've made a few style changes to the web-site: http://0install.net Hopefully it's an improvement (you might have to shift-refresh in your browser to force the stylesheet to update). Let me know if you spot any problems... I need to do something about the list of packages on the downloads page. That's still a real mess.

0publish-gui 0.9

Thomas Leonard — 2008-08-09T09:01:18

A new release of 0publish-gui is now available: http://0install.net/injector-packagers.html Ensure that the 'Help test new versions' option is on to use the new version. Changes since 0.8: - Use agent when invoking GPG, skip asking for passphrase if present. (See also http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg- devel/2003-April/019946.html) (frank.richter< at >gmail.com) This fixes an I/O exception when gpg is used with an agent (as 0publish-gui still tries to write something to gpg but the pipe is already dead) - Also offer alternative identities in the signing keys list (frank.richter< at >gmail.com). - Cope with whitespace differences in unit tests. - Fixed a bug in the handling of version numbers we can't parse. - Improved feed stylesheet: - Show architecture in downloads table. - Display message if there are no downloads. - Display dependencies. - Added source option for library mappings. In Zero Install: - A library package contains the foo.so and foo.so.version files. - A -dev pac
