Re: Tear 0.3 - Simple WebKit browser, now with Dashboard
 
i guess i got the issue because i installed manually while you where copying it over to your repo and updating, qole. but funny enough, app manager thought the existing pre5 was a update to my recently installed pre6, so when i hit update inside app manager i ended up actually downgrading.

its a one of those "what just happened moments", and i only noticed it by the missing "undo" in the windows sub-menu...

Qole: I appreciate your efforts so please don't remove it. The update worked great for me. It's quicker than watching this thread for an update then doing the download and install manually. Thanks.

yea, i guess it should be safe now. sorry to scare everyone like that...

lets just say that if you install pre6 manually and then get a update notice about 0.3 afterwards, maybe its time to refresh app manager. :)

...and I can confirm you were right in thinking so :-)

Same here. Now that everything mostly works I tend to use it more and more, and the main problem now is that writing on any pages refuses to zoom, and stays too tiny to read comfortably. Tear really needs a "forced minimum font size" like microb has, else my eyes will fill with tears :-)

Hrm, after I added qole's repository for Tear, I also got a libpurple0 upgrade from it, which seems to have broken Jabber in Pidgin.

seems tear is unable to make the tablet connect to a existing wifi network, if one use the bookmark sidebar applet. using the internal bookmark menu, or the dashboard works fine tho.

Oh, the irony. After saying that I was scared of Extras-Devel for exactly this reason, someone shows by example that my repository is no better.

The libpurple0 wasn't meant for Pidgin; it was meant for the RTComm beta package. I hacked it together to fix ICQ.

Use this to fix Pidgin: libpurple0_2.5.1-0nix2_armel.deb
