Re: Tear 0.3 - Simple WebKit browser, now with Dashboard
 

i guess thats a potential problem with extra-devel. you cant really say that you only want it to be used for a single app. at least not with the app manager gui (one could probably drill into the apt config guts and do all kinds of things).

Re: Tear 0.3 - Simple WebKit browser, now with Dashboard
 

the missing package was libwebkit-1.0-1 (not to be installed)
if i try apt-get install tear libwebkit-1.0-1 i get libwebkit-1.0-1: Depends: libidn11 (>= 0.5.18) not installable so the missing package should be libidn11. if i enable extras-devel and apt-get install libidn11 i got installed libidn11 0.6.5-1 with no other package.
so if libidn11 0.6.5-1 from extras-devel should be considered unsafe you could include a safe version of libidn11 (>=0.5.18) in your repo. what version of libidn11 do you have?

Re: Tear 0.3 - Simple WebKit browser, now with Dashboard
 

I don't think there's any other libidn11 available anyway :)

Here's what my tablet says. I was right, I'm getting it from Chinook extras.

Should I drop this deb in my repo as well? Probably should, just to make it easier for folks...

EDIT: I've added the libidn11 package from Chinook extras to my repository, so you don't have to add extras-devel or chinook-extras.

This is easily possible with apt-pinning ( http://jaqque.sbih.org/kplug/apt-pinning.html ). Not that I did try this already on a N8x0. But as Mamo is also using apt-get I don't see why it shouldn't work.

Re: Tear 0.3 - Simple WebKit browser, now with Dashboard
 

thats basically what i was thinking about with the stuff inside the ()...

i wonder tho, how that will interact with the app manager gui...

Re: Tear 0.3 - Simple WebKit browser, now with Dashboard
 

app manager gui should respect what you put in /etc/apt/preferences. i got it respect the pinning of a package in the past

Re: Tear 0.3 - Simple WebKit browser, now with Dashboard
 

so i guess i could tell apt to pin everything from devel below whats from extra, exept for select apps?

Re: Tear 0.3 - Simple WebKit browser, now with Dashboard
 

i'm not so strong in apt-pinning, you could check this http://wiki.debian.org/AptPinning for further information.
you shouldn't need it anymore for tear

Re: Tear 0.3 - Simple WebKit browser, now with Dashboard
 

I can confirm that the new version in my repository triggers an update notice for users of previous versions. Both libwebkit and tear show up as updatable when I add my repository to my secondary tablet, which was running an older version of tear.

So hurrah.
