hey guys, i am quite keen to install aarddict, but it appears to have a dependency on Py-Qt which is not available from extras according to this:
http://aarddict.org/forum/index.php?topic=440.0

is this situation going to to resolve itself any time soon?

Itself ? No. It's lingering forsaken in extras-testing for nearly a month now. All it needs is YOU, the proverbial tester, to get to Extras.

I would love to see PyQt in Extras both for Maemo 4 and Maemo 5. Having said that, I don't have N900, so I can only join attila77 in asking N900 owners to help promote PyQt for Maemo 5 to Extras.

Maemo 4.1 is sadly out of reach as Qt itself never made it to Extras there. Another issue is that on non-cloned setups, it's very hard to fit Qt + PyQt to the N8x0 rootfs.

PyQT has just turned up in extras:
http://maemo.org/downloads/product/M...on2.5-qt4-doc/

but it says: "You need to install this package explicitly ONLY if you wish to tinker with Python yourself."

I want PyQT4 so i can try out aarddict, not so i can tinker with Python, is this not the package i am looking for?

Cheers

[edit] wrong link [/edit]

I have the feeling this is not the link you wanted to paste

but it says: "You need to install this package explicitly ONLY if you wish to tinker with Python yourself."

Correct. It would be needed if you wanted to install aarddict from source or outside of the application manager. Hopefully the aarddict folks will correct the install links so they reflect this (the current install file on the aarrddict site enables extras-devel).

This is because currently it's the only way to get it installed on Maemo 4.1 (N8x0).

For Maemo 5 (N900), try http://aarddict.org/aarddict_maemo5.install - it enables Aard Dictionary repository and Maemo Extras - and let me know if it works for you.

Yeah, I know, but Maemo 4.1 and Maemo 5 really need to be separated due to the different status of Qt for them...

For Maemo 5 (N900), try http://aarddict.org/aarddict_maemo5.install - it enables Aard Dictionary repository and Maemo Extras - and let me know if it works for you.
You don't need to do anything with Extras Extras is on the device and enabled by default since the PR1.1 firmware. Installing it through the .install file is bad (it *will* create a duplicate repository). On a side note, is there any particular reason why aarddict itself is not in extras/testing/devel ?

I didn't know that, thanks.

Hm... I thought .install is *the* way to install. What's the alternative? And Application Manager used to be able to detect duplicate repositories before (when enabled through .install), is this not so in Maemo 5?

Of course your first point about Extras being enabled by default makes these questions somewhat academic - I will simply remove Extras from .install.

It's just that I find dealing with Maemo infrastructure painful and generally unpleasant, so I avoid it. Or call me lazy
