From January 19th-21st the AppInstaller-Meeting will take place in Nürnberg, Germany. The major goal of this meeting is to define how a software-center (also known as stoftware-“store”, I don’t really like that term, as it does not describe the service well) should work, which data can be shared by distributions and if there could be […]

PackageKit available in Debian!
It was a long way to go, but now it’s done: PackageKit is available in Debian Sid! Packaging has been done by me, but all the credits belong to Richard Hughes and Daniel Nicoletti. Daniel found a way to make use of Debconf in PackageKit and implemented it in KPackageKit, and Richard Hughes did the […]
Listaller: PK support reversed
And once again an article about the progress of Listaller. (yay!) Since we merged with Autopackage (to be specific: Autopackage merged into Listaller) we now inherited all of APs powerful tools to create cross-distro apps. The next steps are to make these programs and scripts work with the current Listaller infrastructure. This work will be […]
A big merge: Listaller & Autopackage
The Listaller project was started in 2007/2008 to create a unified software management solution and to provide a generic package format which works on all Linux distributions. The much older Autopackage project also had the same goal to provide a unified cross-distro software installation solution. Over the years a lot of projects tried to become […]
Listaller 0.4b released!
I’m very glad to announce the release of Listaller 0.4b today! It took over 9 months to complete this release, which is basically the result of a great lack of developers. I was working on most parts alone, since the other two developers stopped committing code because of too much work at university. For those […]
Why Linux (still) sucks…
Bryan Lunduke, (free) software developer, podcaster and writer, recently gave an update of his presentation “Why Linux sucks” at LinuxFest Northwest 2010. The speech “Why Linux (Still) Sucks. (And What We Can Do To Fix It)” is, like the last one too, very interesting for me, cause it shows the current status of the Linux […]
How Listaller got LZMA decompression…
Cause the new IPK-package specs only allow LZMA compression, I had to add LZMA to Listaller. (IPK is Listaller’s own package format, based on TAR files and LZMA) I thought it was no big deal cause there is an LZMA-SDK for Pascal which worked quite well. So I dropped the old Abbrevia component set which […]
ObjectLine portable released
Ab sofort ist nun auch eine für USB-Sticks optimierte Variante von ObjectLine 1.0 im Downloadbereich verfügbar. Diese Version enthält die gleichen Funktionen wie ObjectLine, speichert aber alle informationen direkt auf dem USB-Stick und benötigt keine Installation. Das Programm entstand auf Anregung eines ObjectLine-Nutzers, der sich per E-Mail darüber beschwerte, dass das Programm alle Daten in […]
Tenstral on ice
Ab heute ist der letzte Schnee auf diese Seite gefallen. Draußen wird es langsam (und viel zu früh) Frühling, da ist das Schneetreiben nicht mehr angebracht. Das Winter-Logo wurde ebenfalls ersetzt. (Wow, wenn das nicht die langweiligsten und kürzesten News aller Zeiten waren…) Ab heute ist der letzte Schnee auf diese Seite gefallen. Draußen wird es langsam (und viel […]
