Will’s Miro dev blog

I finished up a set of Miro 2.0.4 packages for Jaunty for amd64 and i386, pushed them out, and updated our download instructions page.

Two things to clarify:

1. In the Ubuntu universe repository are Miro 2.0.3 packages, but these packages have a backported patch from Miro 2.0.4 so they’re essentially equivalent to the 2.0.4 packages I just built.
2. I put out PCF-built packages because we support Ubuntu and not because Iain and others aren’t doing a fantastic job packaging Miro for Ubuntu.

I’m sorry it took so long, but I was gone most of last week, so I was a bit late to the party.

I’m currently working on getting Miro in trunk to work with Jaunty… there are a few other issues that need to be worked out still.

Instructions for installing the PCF-built Miro 2.0.4 packages are at http://www.getmiro.com/download/for-ubuntu/ .

Going forward I’ll continue to build packages for Hardy, Intrepid and Jaunty. I’m no longer building packages for older versions of Ubuntu.

Me for the next week

I’m going on a service trip for a week to help out rebuilding and such. When I get back, I’ll be spending quality time with Miro on Ubuntu Jaunty, Python 2.6 and a bunch of other support issues that have popped up and I’ll be back on Miro development duty helping Ben and Luc with the changes going into Miro 2.1.

Call for help

Also, if you are technical and use Gentoo, Arch Linux, or OpenSUSE, toss me a line either in the comments below, on #miro-hackers on irc.freenode.net or by email at will.guaraldi at pculture dot org. I’d really like to get help on supporting these three systems better for Miro–I just can’t do it myself.

I’m surprised that Ben’s post didn’t garner any response. I thought there was a significant number of people chomping at the bit for these db changes.

If you’re one of the people that was looking forward to these changes but wasn’t aware they were happening, then definitely take a look at trunk. If there are use-cases you have that you don’t think are going to be handled, let us know as soon as possible.
