Re: Advanced text entry on Sailfish (Swype or similar)

I might add that using this program still kills me patience wise... Often getting random capitals on first letters of words, nit instead of not and other issues...
Such a pity it's not up to the N9 standard but better than manually typing each l e t t e r...

I agree it is nowhere as good as commercial equivalents (yet?). This is why I am not investing any time on cosmetic bugs or features (e.g. the 1 year old transparency bug) and only try to reduce error rate (which is really killing the user experience).

BTW if you build & distribute RPMs please clearly label them as "unofficial", or give proper support contact information, because I do not like receiving complaints on releases I did not issue :)
There is no stable branch, so if you pull a random git revision you will end up with unfinished or completely broken stuff, although there is probably no risk of bricking your device (just uninstall the package if something goes wrong).
Also do not disable error messages, because it will not make the underlying problem disappear. If the keyboard complains about language file version just rebuild them with the tools from the same git revision (or you may get reduced accuracy).

If everything goes well, I will try to make a stable release before the end of the year (I should have said "soon"!)

Re: Advanced text entry on Sailfish (Swype or similar)

Hi guys.

I'm trying to update the Spanish dictionary for newest versions of okboard, but after start the process, it says:

Code:

set -o pipefail ; lbzip2 -d < es-learn.txt.bz2 | /home/ferlanero/okb-engine-master/db/../tools/import_corpus.py es-full.dict | sort -rn | lbzip2 -9 > grams-es-full.csv.bz2.tmp

/bin/sh: 1: set: Illegal option -o pipefail

/home/ferlanero/okb-engine-master/db/makefile:49: fallo en las instrucciones para el objetivo 'grams-es-full.csv.bz2'

make: *** [grams-es-full.csv.bz2] Error 2

Can you help me with this error, please?

I'm on Ubuntu 16.04

Thanks in advance.

[EDIT]
It seems that if I remove all the sentences "set -o pipefail" from /okb-engine-master/db/makefile process runs as expected. Is it possible?

That didn't work, i rebuild my language files with new files from git repo. The db version was updated, but okboard still gave me the error...but since you said it is not stable....

Hi. Could you build your language for OKBoard without troubles? Because I have constantly crazy errors using the tarball: http://git.tuxfamily.org/okboard/okb...master.tar.bz2

Re: Advanced text entry on Sailfish (Swype or similar)

I ever had to modify one of the scripts to not use the $lang variable. Since it couldn't find the corresponding aspell files and thus created empty files, which, for sure, couldn't be processed later on in the script.
