To get out of the never ending reboot and poweroff, I did a logout and on the X prompt I typed reboot. This did a proper shutdown/reboot

You are right peebee, I missed that part in your post.
Better to say it twice. :wink:

Working on 002 - I'm updating the Debian repositories at the moment.

Also, there's more news: I'm writing a small, static executable for parsing package lists. It's just an experiment. This thingy should be extremely useful for Woof.

So far this tool is able to process a 30 MB package list (from Debian Squeeze) in 1.5 minutes. :D

Here it is, what we've been waiting for ... deb2ppm 2.0!

This wild beast is able to convert the Debian Squeeze "main" package list into a PPM one within 62 seconds on my netbook.

It's written in Pascal, use FreePascal to compile it:

Code: Select all

fpc deb2ppm.pas
Still needs polish and some testing, but seems to work just fine :D

I also attached a binary, btw :wink:

Yep, that's a development build. Quite good but not perfect.

I decided to stop the upload because I found some serious issues I wanted to address before the final one.

It's almost ready, got the menu entries fixed. Many packages are smaller now; DeaDBeeF's size dropped from ~550 KB to ~230 KB after the removal of all icons except the 48x48 ones.

I did this for all applications and fixed the menu entries, things should be better now.

Gonna do some testing and I might upload this thingy. Very fast and stable so far :D

EDIT: here. An E17 build will follow :)

Iguleder,

I am have not used Debian before. Is Debian considered to be more stable than Ubuntu? Is this why you chose Debian packages over Ubuntu's.

Debian has three branches .... "stable", "testing" and "unstable". Squeeze is the "stable" branch of Debian whereas Ubuntu is based on Debian unstable.So yes,Squeeze is considered much more stable than Ubuntu.

HTH.
