[Gambas-user] Feature Request - Package Management
Hi all! I dont know, if its possible, but I like to have a installer like: gambas-3.1.2-install.bin or gambas-3.1.2-install.sh for every new release (stable or unstable), for all linuxes. Advantages: 1 Faster updating. 2 Faster bug fixing (as every one uses it). 3 More documentation to configure and use. 4 Choice to use any version any-time. 5 Be independent of compiling and dependency seeking. 6 Single repos for all linux-variants. 7 Easy downgrading, if required. 8 Easy testing of a unstable release. 9 Installing as a core-package rather then a dependent. 10 More helps available. Just as sun offers jdk and jre releases fro linuxes. Installer and un-installer packages be also available in the same format. Please Agree!:-) Thanks in advance. Currently I am on hardy, and I dont find it comfortable to compile.

Re: [Gambas-user] C Code character manipulation - alternatives
Hi, getchar/putchar (as the name is saying) are for read/write single char to stdin/out chr(i) eg. chr$(i) will return char from ASCII code - sth. like itoa or (char)i in C, this has nothing to do with both above... You will need one of the input functions in gambas to get similar functionality in your gambas app. Some info on what you are trying to reach will be helpfull... kind regards Emil -Ursprungliche Nachricht- Von: KhurramM [mailto:kms...@gmail.com] Gesendet: Dienstag, 19.

Re: [Gambas-user] Feature Request - Package Management
Sun's JDK binaries also includes the dependencies needed, and we'd need a package for each architecture, but I'm all for the idea. I'm assuming that it would install it somewhere like /opt, then the dependencies would be in a separate prefix there too. The only problem then is, say because your on Hardy, you'd possibly have two different GTK versions and it may get hard to maintain efficiently, unless the install script detected the distro, and automatically satisfied the dependencies, but then you might as well make a load of .debs.

Re: [Gambas-user] Feature Request - Package Management
The idea itself sound nice, a unique way to install your favorite application. But, the concept is a contradiction to what Linux: is almost 300 different distros most of them active. 1000s of diferent projects, manuals, tutorials, books, etc. Some people think that is one of the weakest links of Linux, that all we are divided in several distros and several projects. But I think is what make Linux so attractive, the freedom to use whatever desktop, software, distro, etc you want. Who cares if Linux will never beat Windows? Me and my family use Linux and we love it, and is what really matters. On my opinion, of the two major distros (Ubuntu OpenSuse) the one that makes your life easier is Ubuntu, some time ago I just give up to have the latest and greatest version of Gambas and other projects, I try to be patient and wait to the ubuntu package. *BTW, when is going to be ready the newest Gambas packages for Ubuntu??? * :-) have a nice day.
