There's the flaw in your argument. We have every open-source dev on our side. Everything that's ever been open-sourced* can end up on a Pandora, from the Linux kernel to Doom 3. And that has brought users. The prospect of a full Linux desktop with all the software that I use at home is...

Personally, I like the ladybug design. It provides space for a background colour, showing some general context on the button's purpose very quickly. And I think that the surrounding ring helps bind the design so that it's parsed as a single image, rather than a smattering of dots. I never...

Though I voted for "3rd-person quest game", I would be fine with having it in 1st person. And at that point, you might as well add digging :P .

Do you mean this question? Where you wrote five words, then waited just four hours before writing this post about being ignored? This is a community of real people, you have to have a little patience. And you can dismiss me as a "lintard" if you want, but it's the reason I ordered one. I...

First off, this thread was just about graphics for representing buttons. A little more limited than what you're going after ;) . This probably deserves its own thread. Second, this sounds parallel to the existing documentation system. It's very different, but it's ultimately another way to...

According to that link, controlling LEDs is all about writing to specific files. So rather than running a shell command, you should write to the file in the usual way. with open('/sys/class/leds/pandora::power/brightness', 'w') as led: led.write('255')

It is indeed! And PNDstore, libmilky, and the in-progress libpndman all support reading from multiple repositories. So if StreaK generated a repository file, users could browse his PNDs alongside everything in milkshake's repo. It's not that hard to generate a repository; I created something...

This argument is stupid. Obviously, if StreaK does the work, he can put the results wherever he wants. But StreaK, you have to recognize that you're creating a usability issue here, and raging against hypothetical "software collectors" does you no service (I've heard of one such person on...

I really like this idea and will make sure to put these icons to use whenever I have the need! And I have nothing else to add, except that you might also want to consider icons for diagonal directions on the d-pad. Otherwise, it looks like you're well on track.

I hadn't heard about this! Do you have a source repository for it yet? I'd love to help with it; I've never written C before, but I know the syntax, and I certainly know my way around PNDs and repos. And I'm certain I've mentioned how much I'd like to retire PNDstore.

I've actually already made a screen scraper for apps.o.o that presents all its PNDs in the repo format. The repo file is at http://randy.heydon....extra/repo.json EDIT: I should add that the code for this is on github This makes the appstore accessible by PNDstore and libmilky/Panorama, but...

6 months seems too much to me. The more time you give people, the more they procrastinate. I would likely make it less than 4 months. This may be wacky, but perhaps 6 months with a 3 month check-in? After 3 months, devs make preliminary releases and users vote on which is best so far, or...

You could just reject package IDs that use certain characters. The PXML spec just says that the "ID must not include characters which would be invalid in directory or file names", which is a little unspecific. If you enforce a specific character set for IDs, I don't think it would go amiss.

Thanks Cloudef. I had just assumed that would be true, but it's better to have it mentioned explicitly. Was this breakage related to the repobreaker test that was going on earlier? Are there any packages that currently cause such breakage?

milkshake, did you ever look into digest authentication for repo clients? If it looks feasible to you, I'll write it into the spec. Then Cloudef and I can get on implementing it.

Ah, got it. I had to fix the indentation in your code (I assume it works for you and got messed up in the copy-paste, otherwise it wouldn't work at all). The problem is that you're using platform.surf.get_rect(), when instead you should just use platform.rect. See, each call to...

Wrap in code tags so indentation doesn't get removed. I assume this is what you meant: if self.keymap[3]: for dot in self.dot_list: for platform in self.platform_list: dot.dir = 3 future_dot = dot.rect.move(10, 0) if...

They actually made specific mention of the Pandora in yesterday's blog post. So basically the same as for Uplink.

thatgui: Everything to do with repository files is documented on the wiki. The "updates" URL is optional, but if given will always include "%time%". As milkshake said, replace %time% with the unix time (UTC) of your last read in order to get all repository updates since that time. eg...

Ah, I meant for the users "My Downloads" list. It currently only shows what you've downloaded from the site while logged in. Having clients download with user credentials would allow that list to stay up-to-date with whatever's done through the client. Minor feature, but it would be neat. I...
