I started this while on my quest for an easy to port application to 2006. It didn't build straight out of the box - it fails building some documentation (missing dependencies I'm sure, but you don't really want man pages and documentation on the 770, right?) but all the binaries were there

Just for kicks, I finished the debian package. No guarantees it won't brick your 770, but I was able to install and uninstall, as well as reboot. And it seemed to work - bonus.

The documentation is at here, but it should be ready to go out of the box.

I don't really have anyplace to host this, but feedback would be appreciated.

Brad.

EDIT: Upgraded to proper package build, minor cleanup

You are a hero! At last now I can consider moving to the 2006 OS : dependence on Privoxy was the main thing holding me back, and I know I was not alone in this... Thanks a lot !

PS: why not host this in the Maemo Garage ?

fpp-

Glad to help. I'm a bit embarassed that I didn't make this package "correctly", but I figured it was better than nothing.

As far as the garage goes, I didn't think a simple *nix port was worthy of setting up a project for. Seems like overkill to me. Especially since I'm not distributing the source (what you see is what there is).

Brad.

Well, I don't know. Now that we can't use third-party arm binarie anymore, I think even a "simple port" has merit, especially for something like Privoxy that makes a lot of sense on the 770... also it would give your work a more permanent home (and easier to find) than a post in this forum, so we could link to it in the 2006 Application Catalog in the Maemo Wiki... else most potential users will miss it !

I installed vim by just clicking on the deb file om my memory card and it installed just fine.

You're officially my hero. I can't surf without Privoxy anymore. One big hurdle towards upgrading to 2006 removed.

Was this compiled with support for web configuration and toggling it from the web by any chance?

A better option would be a "Ports" project at the Garage. Some kind of system for building projects from source, applying appropriate 770 patches and building ARMEL debs.

A bit like fink for Mac OS X or cygwin for Windows, IYSWIM.

Then that could be the home for all sorts of things, as I agree with bradb - a Garage project for a simple recompile seems pointless.

Cheers,

Andrew

How to I know if those features are enable?

Brad.

I was playing with this today, and if you're talking about going to the following web page:

http://config.privoxy.org/show-status

Yes, it does seem to have support for web configuration :-)

Nice little tool.

Brad.

Further to that I've put together some thoughts on MUD - the Maemo Unofficial Debs project - here:

http://maemo.org/pipermail/maemo-dev...ly/004527.html

Ideally, I'd see it providing the debs for privoxy, vim, rsync etc. with as little work as possible.

Comments welcome here, by email or on the maemo-developers mailing list.

Cheers,

Andrew
