Package page outsourced, new packages

Tagged with  

I’ve always liked keeping my stuff on Other People‘s servers so I’ve taken my "Packages" page offsite. The package files themselves were never on this site but at Box.net, I simply wrote a local page to describe and point to them. Now I’ve moved the packages to eSnips which sucks a lot less than Box.net(*). eSnips also lets me add nice descriptions for each package, so a dedicated "Packages" page is no longer needed here. Subsequently, I moved the link to the packages from the sidebar’s Site Menu to the topyli on the Web section. Let’s see if you can find it! :-)

I also uploaded a few new packages:

  • The new, Cairo-based, purrty Murrine GTK+ theme engine
  • The latest (and last) svn snapshot of the Exaile! media player for Dapper (synic has upgraded to Edgy.) synic did provide a .deb but it already depended on too new a libatk1.0-0. So I built my own package
  • A new F-Spot
  • gaim-extprefs and gaim-guifications which work with gaim2 beta3.1
  • Last-exit 2.0

I removed two obsolete packages:

  • Exaile 0.1
  • gnome-phone-manager 0.7 since it has been uploaded to Dapper as a backport and you can apt-get it

(*) Not that Box.net really sucks a whole lot. Their services were always available, and one shouldn’t be too picky when you get free storage. I just didn’t particularly like their user interface, and WebDAV didn’t work too well.
