Hi, after that post, I’ve been motivated to build another version in my ppa.
I’d be happy if someone could give it a fast test.

Bye!
(ah, note aside: don’t use my ppa for other packages than smile, I’m setting up a “stable” ppa, but the default one has a lot of mess, and a lot of test-only package)

@taiebot: no, I guess something’s missing. If I’m first able to create a nice slideshow with SMILE then I’ll try to create a DVD with 2mandvd and will see the dependencies :)

debian-multimedia.org is like Ubuntu, it probably won’t get into Debian unless you can motivate the maintainer to move it there.

Thansk for your comments & questions everyone!

@ethana2: Yes, it’s a Qt/KDE software although it does look a bit weird with the black menu bar. And yes – the web site is in French which I found also a bit annoying. I think this app has a lot of potential and I’d like to see more people working on it, a proper community to help the author.

@ethana2: yes, I could’ve specified a bit more but on the other hand I don’t know why would it be limited to KDE/Gnome and why wouldn’t it be possible to port to maemo/webos/android. My experience, as a Openmoko Freerunner owner is that.. well, if an app runs on Linux, it requires a lot to be able to tell it for sure doesn’t run on another distribution / mobile environment / something. I dont have experience like that, so I just call it ‘a Linux app’ :)

@taiebot: I did actually try to install 2mandvd yesterday and in the end it did install but I wasn’t able to run it: 2mandvd command didn’t exist and so on.. I’d really like to try it!

@mas: ok, great, thanks for the information. How does the debian-multimedia work, will it end to main later?

Smile is already packaged for debian by Christian Marillat and is available from the debian-multimedia repository. Of course, it i not in main yet.
