Trying GDA on N770

Posted on 2007-04-30 11:42:18 EEST.

Last week I found Johannes Schmid blog entry about new libgda3 packages. I downloaded package's sources and recompiled it for gregale on N770. Well , I tried to recompile. These libgda3 package have some major issues:

  • Can not use debian files with gda 3.0
  • Sections in control files are incorrect

The latter case seems to be the most common issue I can found in debian package built for armel architecture. But maybe this is my fault. Anyway , I can not install package from file using AM. It always complain "Incompatible package" when package's section is for example lib, while it should be user/lib.

I have no idea how packages can be installed via AM directly from repositories as AM always is getting and refreshing packages list and then throws a warning "Can not refresh packages list".

Anyway , I need libreadline4 to install gda packages ( those ones I had to recompile myself ). Unfortunatelly, it seems that only bora supports libreadline4 and I need to build another packages for myself. I hope this one will be the last one. In any other case I am afraid I will have to compile plenty of packages for myself.

My big wishlist ( one wish to be exact ) is to have usable AM on N770. I have at least 4 or 5 repositories added. AM doesn't complain that repos' locaions are invalid, and I have no idea if those are good or do not trigger conflicts. Well... I should be happy anyway, as I have about 5 applications listed in AM that can be installed. None of these is the one I want.
