SlackE17 on Raspberry Pi

ngc891 — Tue, 14 May 2013 14:05:29 +0000

Thanks to SeoZ who lends me his Raspberry Pi, I was able to test it with Slackware and E17 today. I first tried pre-built image from Stanley Garvey but couldn’t get it fit on my 8GB usb key, despise it was the same size.

So I followed the steps described on the SARPi website to install Slackware on the RPi. The process is very well describe and I got a ready to boot SD card quite easily. Unfortunately, the reboot failed (out of memory when udevd starts). An update to the kernel and firmware from an other computer fixed this issue.

Installation of SlackE17 went flawlessly, and I was soon in front of the E17 shell. This is the 0.17.2.1 version of Enlightenment. It was compiled with no specific optimization. Pictures:

E/EFL Korean Seminar 2013

ngc891 — Sun, 12 May 2013 05:07:15 +0000

Yesterday was held the first E/EFL Korean Seminar in Seoul. There were talks about Enlightenment and the Enlightenment Foundation Libraries by Carsten Haitzler (Rasterman) and Cédric Bail ; Daniel Juyung Seo (SeoZ) and Chuneon Park (Hermet) talked about the EFL Open Source Community. I, myself, made a small presentation about Elemines.

There was some interesting discussions about Wayland and the status of ~~Pitch Black~~ terminology.

You can download my presentation (PDF) or read it online. Sources are available.

Thanks a lot to Daniel for the organization!

SlackE17 0.17.2.1 (and elemines 0.2.3)

ngc891 — Thu, 02 May 2013 15:15:16 +0000

I just updated SlackE17 to 0.17.2.1 yesterday. The tarball contains now the EFL 1.7.6 with some upstream fixes. Users will not see a lot of changes, this is mostly a bugfix release. E17 got bump to 0.17.2.1 and terminology to 0.3. Packages are available for i486 and x86_64 ; arm will be available soon. You’ll need a Slackware 14.0.

Elemines was updated to version 0.2.3. I got help from Cédric Bail to make the software more EFL-ized as it was used for some QML/EFL interesting benchmarks. Elemines is now on the official Enlightenment git repository.

You can download SlackE17 packages or sources at the usual place on Sourceforge.

Minor updates…

ngc891 — Tue, 05 Feb 2013 02:09:39 +0000

I updated SlackE17 to 0.17.1 last week. The tarball contains now the EFL 1.7.5 with some upstream fixes. Users will not see a lot of changes, this is mostly a bugfix release. As I didn’t post any picture of the Slackware theme last time, here is one:

What may really matters is that SlackE17 is now available for ARM. People with ARM device using ArmedSlack 14.0 should give it a try.

You can download SlackE17 packages or sources at the usual place on Sourceforge.

I took the opportunity to update elemines to 0.2.1 when shipping it with SlackE17. Some cosmetic changes, a bugfix and translations which were kindly contributed by the enlightenment-intl team. Thanks!

elemines 0.2

Here comes a new release of elemines, the minesweeper clone using the EFL. This new version now requires etrophy for scores management. Elemines now support the middle click feature and has been translated in french. Some cosmetic changes were made too, as you can see on the following screenshot:

E17 has been released!

So it was the way the World ended. zmike finally published the long awaited release of Enlightenment DR17.

On my side, I just published today the updated Slackware package of E17. You can find them at the usual place at SourceForge. Other details, like source or packages list, can be found on the project home page.

E17 is in beta

ngc891 — Sun, 09 Dec 2012 06:43:15 +0000

So E17 turned into beta. End of world is near. After alpha2, alpha3, alpha6 and alpha8, SlackE17 now provides e17 beta, along with the bug fixes EFL 1.7.3. If you like E17, you really should try to test it now, so release could be neat.

E17 is coming

ngc891 — Thu, 06 Dec 2012 12:36:14 +0000

Well, e17 is just around the corner.

I’m continuing to update SlackE17 regularly. Today, I just pushed r80174 which contains the EFL 1.7.2 and e17 alpha8. You can download it at the usual place.

Rasterman did a great work to provide a new default theme:

New SlackE17 release

ngc891 — Sat, 17 Nov 2012 10:17:36 +0000

So Enlightenment DR17 is going alpha and the release is scheduled for the End Of The World. Better test this before it’s too late, so here are the Slackware 14.0 E17 packages at the SlackE17 project. You will find EFL 1.7.1, enlightenment 0.17 alpha2 and other EFL software like terminology, eperiodique and elemines.

The packages contain debug info so you can help debug. Stay tuned, because I will try to publish other SlackE17 release for the next alpha/beta of e17.

New project: elemines

I’m still playing with the Enlightenment Foundation Libraries (which have reached the 1.7.0 milestone) and made a small minesweeper clone named elemines because it uses elementary. Most graphics are derivative work of the GPL data of Battle of Wesnoth. Free download of the 0.1 release at SourceForge. Have fun!
