dmg2img for Mandriva 2009.1

Kev — Sun, 02 Aug 2009 14:29:59 +0000

I’ve just created a RPM of dmg2img for the x86_64 version of Mandriva 2009.1. The package is available in my RPM repository.

dmg2img is a command line utility to extract the content of an Apple Disk Image .dmg file. Here is how I use it to access content:

dmg2img ./my-package.dmg
mount -t hfsplus -o loop ./my-package.img /media/my-mount-point

QLC 3.0.0 for Mandriva 2009.1

Kev — Sun, 31 May 2009 16:23:59 +0000

I’ve upgraded my old QLC RPM to the 3.0.0 version. This release is built for Mandriva 2009.1 and x86_64 architecture only, and do not depends on LLA. I also had to remove the FTDI output plugin as it doesn’t compile on my machine. You can find the QLC RPM in my repository.

In the end, this RPM is quite a prototype. I didn’t checked that it works well beyond the UI (check the screenshot for a proof). So use it at your own risks !

Proxad / Free.fr killed my RPM repository !

My ISP, Proxad/Free, hardened its policy and do not allow any longer the use of the 10 GiB hosting (that they gracefully provide for free to their customer) for things other than “pure” website. I think my RPM repository, which I moved there last year, fall in the “static storage” category, leading them to erase it some days ago.

Fortunately I have backups and I recently get a RPS from OVH. I’ve spent the majority of the week-end restoring and relocating the repository. Good news everyone, everything seems OK now. If you still use my repositories, please check that it responds.

Amarok 1.4.9.1 for Mandriva 2008.1

Kev — Mon, 26 May 2008 16:42:47 +0000

Amarok 1.4.9.1 was released 6 weeks ago and was backported to Mandriva 2008.1 some times after. Usually I wait the “official” backport to rebuild the RPM with some extra features and add it to my personnal repository.

But this time it’s different: for Mandriva 2008.1, all the features I added to my builds (especially the full SQLite, MySQL and Postgresql database support) are now included in the “officialy” backported RPM. So starting from Mandriva 2008.1, you don’t need my Amarok backports. All you need is the love from the official backport repository (FTP URL given above). I’m happy as this mean more free time for me and less things to maintain !

QLC 2.6.1 for Mandriva 2008.1

Kev — Mon, 12 May 2008 22:12:44 +0000

I’ve just backported QLC 2.6.1 from Fedora Core to Mandriva 2008.1. Q Light Controller is a software designed to pilot lights (both moving and static ones) on stages via the DMX communication protocol. This is my first step to bring together two of my main recent interests: stage lighting and linux.

These RPMs are currently only available for the x86_64 version of Mandriva but includes the Open DMX USB drivers and Lighting Architecture for Linux (LLA) packages. All the sources of these packages came from the repository I found in the “LLA, OpenDMX USB and Q Light Controller Tutorial” tutorial.

I haven’t played with QLC yet: I’ve just started it and as you can see on the screenshot it seems to work. Happy testing !

Amarok 1.4.8 for Mandriva 2008.0 and repository update

Kev — Sat, 26 Jan 2008 12:27:29 +0000

I’ve just rebuild Amarok 1.4.8 for Mandriva 2008.0 with MySQL and PostgreSQL support.

This was also an opportunity for me to rebuild old packages (Interreta Televidilo, Rugg and python-icalendar) for Mandriva 2008.0. For now there is no x86_64 version of the packages (including Amarok). I plan to do it later.

Update: Amarok was recompiled to include latest libgpod version (0.6.0).

Amarok 1.4.7 for Mandriva 2007.1

Kev — Sat, 18 Aug 2007 15:43:28 +0000

I’ve just backported Amarok 1.4.7 from cooker to Mandriva 2007.1 (aka “Spring” edition).

Packages are downloadable from my RPM repository for i586 and x86_64 architecture and both build support SQLite, MySQL and Postgresql as database backend.

Amarok 1.4.6 for Mandriva 2007.1

Kev — Thu, 05 Jul 2007 20:36:48 +0000

Amarok 1.4.6 was released two weeks ago. Even if this version is available in Mandriva 2007.1 official backports, it doesn’t support MySQL and PostgreSQL databases. My RPMs of Amarok 1.4.6 does. They can be found in my Mandriva 2007.1 repository, which now include a sub repository for the 64 bit flavous of Mandriva.

Mandriva 2007.1 RPMs for x86_64 arch.

Kev — Thu, 05 Jul 2007 20:18:52 +0000

I’ve just recompiled all the RPMs of my Mandriva 2007.1 repository for the x86_64 CPU architecture. All details can be found on my repository-dedicated page.

Location of RPM Macros files in Mandriva

Kev — Mon, 14 May 2007 17:00:37 +0000

This is a totally useless blog post to remind me the location of files that contain the definition of RPM’s macros in Mandriva:

/etc/rpm/
/usr/lib/rpm/
