Requests for extensions

[Xianwen Chen]

Hi! Could you please produce a TCE for KeePassX [1]? It's a password management software.

[1] http://www.keepassx.org/

I've made the extension myself.

You could do this and it might work, but far better (and more satisfying) to try and compile it for yourself following the instructions in the wiki 

I've compiled the two XMMS plugins so far. There are two issues left to be clearified yet.

1. There is a command line switch, whether the plugins will be installed in ~/.xmms/Plugins or under /usr/local/lib. The latter may require to symlink the files in .xmms/Plugins. Which is the preferable one by your opinion?

2. The crossfade plugin strongly recommends a patch to the xmms source to work properly. Is it possible to apply this patch directly to the tce extension package? It's just a mite (about 15 kB), so I could mail the patch to the maintainer of XMMS Jason W along with the README file, which explains what will be changed.

Please drop me a note.

For the XMMS plugin, or any other files, I far prefer to put them in /usr/local when possible instead of in the /home directory. 

Send or upload the patch, and I will look into it.

i would like to see tigervnc client, but i'm worried about its dependencies. it's way superior to standard vnc client, because it has various bandwidth saving options, making it comfortable to use over ssh tunnel.

I have a working crossfade patch for xmms and will try to get it worked in tomorrow as time was tight recently.

So far tigervnc still loses in fps to turbovnc. I know, not relevant, but hey

[yoshi314]

cool, i'll have to check out this turbovnc, whatever it is, then ;-)

edit: uhh, no

Tools for opening UDF formatted discs

[curaga]

Do you mean formatting? UDF mounting is supported by the filesystems extension.

I need something that will let me fill out PDF forms, and then save them to disk.

On Win I use Foxit, but it's a pain using Win. On Linux TC, Evince looks like the way to go, though it may be a bit big (3MB source).

I'm just starting this build project. Happy to take another solution if anyone has suggestions

EDIT (20100313): I tried Linux versions of Evince, Adobe Reader, Xpdf, epdfview, and Foxit. Nothing handled my forms on native Linux.  I am now using Wine + Win Foxit, which together are big (~ 50mb ...) but they work. Kludged.

Hi folks,

First of all, nice job with this distro!

I'm looking for something like fetchmail and procmail.
Any chance that someone could add it to the repo?

[aanuncibay]

It's possible make a new version of wine
 

[gutmensch]

added wine 1.1.39:
1. wine-gl needs Xorg and has 3D support as well as SSL, cups, etc.
2. wine is the "low dep" version, no 3D, doesn't require Xorg
feel free to test it out...
