Rockbox Utility
jambamkin:
I think is a great leap forward for Rockbox and now there is a compiled OS X version its brilliant, i was wondering if it was too early to submit it to iusethis.com, a social mac app website. To catch Rockbox users who haven't seen this and people who may be umming and ahhing over the change.
Thought it was best to ask here before doing so.
Bagder:
To me it sounds like a good idea, as I don't think we've had too many mac users actually trying out rbutil yet.
Domonoky:
jeah, it would be nice to get a bit feedback from mac users for rbutil.
So go ahead and post it on this site.
rasher:
I've created a patch to allow building Debian packages (http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/7277). Unfortunately, wxwidgets2.8 probably won't be available for Debian anytime soon. The package can still be used on Ubuntu though, for which wxwidgets2.8 is available (confirmed to work at least in the dev version "Gutsy Gibbon / 7.10").
With any luck, rbutil could eventually be available directly from Ubuntu - at least one developer has expressed interest in packaging it for inclusion (http://mako.cc/copyrighteous/20070308-00.comment).
On a side-note: Why was wxwidgets2.8 chosen? It seems that some (Debian, Gentoo) distributions are not offering it, possibly because it's still considered unstable (that's the reason for Debian at least). Would it be possible to move down to 2.6, or is that a lot of work, or even unfeasible?
aegis:
Actually, there is a package for Debian available from the Sourceforge site of the wxwidgets
http://www.wxwidgets.org/downloads/
However, I have not tried it out, so I cannot tell whether it's working (and where it's working) or not.
Unfortunately, as you have said, it's not an official repository. In Debian unstable there is only 2.6 version, with no 2.8.4 version in experimental - so it would be nice to downgrade the version expectations, even just to think about users of some older or "more stable" machines, less popular distros etc. etc. Not everyone runs Ubuntu yet. ;)
That's my 2 cents, plus my traditional thanks for all your Rockbox efforts!
