Interesting facts about PNDstore that everyone might like to know: Command-line interface is now accessible. Run "pndst --help" to find out how to use it. GUI can be launched from command-line as "PNDstore". Underlying libraries can be accessed from Python programs through the...

So you know, PNDstore considers 5.0.0.1 > 5.0.b3.0. Any number (eg: 0) is considered to be greater than any letter (eg: B) . But that's only how PNDstore handles it; there isn't a standard of which I'm aware, so other clients (eg: Milkyhelper) might use different logic.

I've been thinking about this one. I was thinking of allowing Ctrl+Click or Shift+Click to select multiple packages at once. This avoids the need for checkboxes, thereby saving some screen space. Would that be an acceptable solution, or do you think checkboxes would be more useful?

Sure thing. This is the PNDstore section, copied and pasted out of my big todo list. I've been considering moving this to Github's issue tracker; it's more collaborative in nature, but I haven't had much need for that collaborativeness yet. Note that, since I am the target audience for these...

To elaborate: that will search by title, but it only searches from the beginning of the title (so typing "noth" will not bring you to "Wesnoth"). Proper filters, like by categories or descriptions, are on my todo list. But you'll either have to patiently wait until I get to it, or try coding...

Alright Hitnrun, I think I got it figured out. If your first list update failed (such as with network problems), then subsequent updates would never work. Clearing out your appdata directory will fix this; version 1.0.2, which I just uploaded to the repo, will make sure that this bug doesn't...

Not exactly. Well, it might be possible, but it's not what I'm planning (though my mind could change later). My plan is that, as I improve the GUI, I'll distribute updates as PNDs, almost exactly as I do now. But this means that you won't automatically receive updates unless you first install...

What the cabbage. Okay, I pushed v1.0.1 to the repo with that fix included. Hitnrun, I hope that fixes your problem, but I don't understand how it's a problem, so who knows?

That would imply a problem with milkshake's repository. However, I'm not seeing that error here, so it can't be milkshake's problem. Or maybe it was a temporary issue that's since been fixed. I can only suggest making sure you're connected to the internet, then trying again. Let me know if...

With no further bug reports for a long while, I've finalized the 1.0 release and uploaded it to the repo. And that's probably the last you'll get out of me for the next little while, but I'll get on GUI improvements eventually.

No one ever reported back, but I have seen that people have been downloading the last beta. So, with no further bugs reported, I finalized the 1.0 release and uploaded to the repo. And that's probably the last you'll get out of me for the next little while, but I'll get on GUI improvements...

Ah, that's the right analogy! Anyway, those three steps will require a bunch of disparate knowledge, so I doubt it could be picked up all in one place. First, getting the dependencies working simply requires looking over their sites to find instructions on how to build and install. You'll...

Robo Hell, by richiz (on repo, and source code) BubbMan2, by pymike, packaged by me (on repo, and source code). The latest version of the source removes the alpha channel from all images, but I'm told that didn't really affect performance. Therefore, the PND contains slightly older code that...

Yep, this looks like you skipped IKEA and wandered into a carpentry class. Take a look at the using_EasyABC_in_Linux.txt file: between that and the setup.py file, it looks like this wasn't designed to be installed in the traditional Python way of which distPND takes advantage; it only uses the...

I really don't know what to do about the WiFi/Bluetooth switch. My networking knowledge is weak, but PNDstore makes a new connection every time you ask it to (rather than trying to hold one connection open), so I wouldn't think that changing the connection mode would necessitate a restart. If...

Consider that cx_Freeze is designed to turn a Python script into a standalone binary executable (and that's what it does to itself when it installs). To do so, it needs to compile something. So it's complaining that it can't find a compiler. Since I'm way too into Python, I don't know how to...

You did absolutely nothing wrong. The problem lies in the setup script. Many setup scripts are very simple; all of mine contain a single call to the setup function, and nothing else. But they are full Python programs, and can be arbitrarily complex. It looks like this setup script you have...

Caine summarizes it pretty well. PNDstore relies heavily on libpnd for detection and processing of local packages. libpnd can be made to work on desktop Linux systems, though I don't know if it will work on Windows or Mac. It's possible to rewrite PNDstore to not use libpnd (wouldn't even be...

I'm guessing your problem is in the application ID. I'm not certain, but I think that having a space in it is a bad thing. There are other limits to the ID of which you should be aware too. If you change that and it still doesn't run, look at the terminal output. Any time a PND application...

"Install "base-devel" (pacman -S base-devel), because members of this group are not explicitly required by AUR packages which may not build without them".
