[Simplygnustep-announce] SimplyGNUstep News

[Chad H. <ceh...@si...>]

What's new:

Both the sgstep.com/org/net and simplygnustep.com/org/net servers 
seems to working as expected!
-------------------------------
The simplygnustep software repositories have been moved to 
simplygnustep.com/org/net.  They are no longer hosted by sourceforge.

So to keep up with release, change "/etc/apt/sources.list" to:

deb     ftp://simplygnustep.com/simplygnustep/ binary-i386/
deb-src ftp://simplygnustep.com/simplygnustep/ source/

and you're all set

make sure you do a:

apt-get update
and
apt-get upgrade

after changing "/etc/apt/sources.list"
---------------------------------
Yes, the project is still alive!  :-)
I've been experimenting with making debian install cd's and have been 
sucessful in making some.  An important first step.

There are still some issues which need to be addressed:

A new (and working) X11 window manager to replace WindowMaker
A XFree86 configurator written in GNUstep
A "Software Update" type app, which should be a simple wrapper around 
apt.  A framework may be in order here too.

There are other things as well, but I can;t think of them right now.
If you want to write the above apps, they do NOT need to be solely for 
SimplyGNUstep.  Just create your apps for the whole GNUstep community 
and I will package them for SimplyGNUstep.
---------------------------------
Anybody else want sgstep email accounts?  There were quite a few 
people who signed up for some, but my research indicated they don't 
really use them.
I've turned sgstep into a completely free service, with optional 
donations.  check out http://www.sgstep.com
