[Announce] GNOME Network Tools 2.22.0 port
 

Started on this a long time ago, but it had some missing deps and it had an awful UI, but it's usable (with a stylus) now (and it actually works).
Not a lot of changes to the source but I had to 'replace' some tools that are part of busybox. The package is completely safe to install.
Had to package the following, if anyone is going to use them: whois, finger, netstat and ping.
The package replace the symlinks to busybox, in order to provide working ones, the symlinks will be restored on uninstallation.
Traceroute does not currently work, even though it's packaged, I'll look into it soon.

Hope some of you find this useful :)

Could you post a screenshot of the UI you get? Could be a missing theme.

Like that?
I guess it's the missing theme files... I keep forgetting about those
Easiest solution is to install easy-deb-chroot, I'll ask qole if he could package the theme separately for other packages to use it.

Re: [Announce] GNOME Network Tools 2.22.0 port
 

yep like that

whats easy-deb-choot?

are u planing on updating it so the theme is there or?

Re: [Announce] GNOME Network Tools 2.22.0 port
 

I can package the theme right now, I already use it in xarchiver's package.
Packaging separately though would mean annoying who wants to install it will have conflicts with easy-deb-chroot, which is maintained by qole.
easy-deb-chroot is Easy Debian, it allows you to run a full chroot'd image of Debian without rebooting your device, thus allowing all applications on debian (arm) to run on the N900.

thats just effort tho lol i mite install it agen i dno yet.

i want to ask you somthing how do you even make apps i want to try it but i dont have a clue what to do?

Re: [Announce] GNOME Network Tools 2.22.0 port
 

@MohammadAG:
Check x-archiver thread
It has the theme added in the .deb package

Re: [Announce] GNOME Network Tools 2.22.0 port
 

LOL I added it to the package (as I maintain it) mate. Check the maintainer field next time :p

Edit, @ mokkey, it's just a port of http://packages.debian.org/lenny/gnome-nettool
I guess the best way to learn is to check examples, books proved to be quite boring for me.
