Rolling back to 2007, and trying to install Python
 

Hello all,

I tried OS2008 (on my n800) and quickly discovered there is no serious text editor (such as leafpad which can edit a 400k text file). So I rolled back to 2007.

Unfortunately, there is a problem reinstalling Python (I get the message:
Is there a problem with the repository, or are we destined to not have python on OS2007, now that OS2008 is here?

TIA,

Craig...

[edit] OK, I see the problem (elsewhere in the forums). For some reason the hostname is incorrect for the maemo repositories. One should edit /etc/apt/sources.list and remove the 'i' from repository.maemo.org to repostory.maemo.org

Now the python install works, whew!

Leafpad and scite are available in my repo for OS2008.

Not sure if it is displayed in the menu.
Should..

I see your Scite from Application Manager, but I don't see Leafpad?

Yep, stupid error.
Forgot the "user/" part of section...

Yep, thanks. and scid too.

Installing Leafpad now:)

It installs ok, but does not show up in the 'program manager' type thingie - Scite does. However, it can be started from xterm.

Ok thanks for the report. I'll check this.

Re: Rolling back to 2007, and trying to install Python
 

Ok, I do see the icon after a re-boot.

Re: Rolling back to 2007, and trying to install Python
 

Ok these are different versions of leafpad.
Mine is 0.8.9. One from OS2007 seems like 0.8.10 and included hildonization.
Latest is 0.8.13 but hildonization has been removed.
When I understand the mess and what can be done on the device (scared with internationalization), maybe I'll do something more usefull.

Meanwhile

vi rulez
