Installing packages and applications on n900 from extras-devel or extras-testing result most of the time on a nice error : ‘Not enougth space on device’. This happen most of the time because you have installed package which aren’t yet optified.

Found this packages isn’t easy. This is why i ve made this little script which is not optimal. It takes a long time to process all packages and files.

moptinagi.py

import commands
import os
import hildon
import gtk
 
details = ''
less = ''
 
r = commands.getoutput("/usr/bin/dpkg --get-selections")
packages = r.rsplit('\n')
for index,package in enumerate(packages):
  print 'Processing packages ',index,' on ',len(packages)
  #print package.split('\t')
  s = package.split('\t')
  if s[(len(s)-1)] == 'install':
    pkg_files = commands.getoutput("/usr/bin/dpkg -L "+s[0]).split('\n')
    pkg_size = 0
    for pkg_file in pkg_files:  
      #pkg_size = 0
      if ('/opt' not in pkg_file) or ('/home' not in pkg_file):
        try: 
          st = os.stat(pkg_file)
          if st.st_blocks > 0:
            details = details + '\n'+  s[0]+':'+pkg_file+':'+str(st.st_size/1024)+'Kb'
            pkg_size = pkg_size + st.st_size
        except:
          pass
    less = less + '\n' + s[0] + ' : '+str(pkg_size/1024)+'Kb'
 
print less
w = hildon.Window()
p = hildon.PannableArea()
t = hildon.TextView()
 
p.add(t)
w.add(p)
total = less+'\n\n\n'+details
t.get_buffer().set_text(total)
w.show_all()
 
gtk.main()

Just to be clear, i didn’t blame any developpers to not optify their packages. I understand why Nokia keep root fs on a fast nand. But a so small one is a real pain for everyone, users and developpers. I just hope that apps and libs will be optify in a short delay.

While i’m still working on PyPackager, PyGTKEditor and others projects. I’m finishing an other one for first Fremantle release.

mNotes is a Notes Application, specially designed for Maemo Devices. It s feature a synchronization with a web server.

It s feature :
– auto link between notes.
– auto indent
– search
– undo / redo
– fullscreen
– auto rotation
– font/size preferences
– and Synchronization !

It s still in developpment. And some feature aren’t yet implemented :
◦ search in note and hiligh when opening global search
◦ Windows Version (Currently in developpment)
◦ Linux Version
◦ Web Version (Currently in developpment)

Some optimizations is needed :
◦ Defering Optimize
◦ Refactoring mnotes_window.py (window.py + editor.py)

Currently synchronization is working with the web server, but there is still need to save feature of the web online editor.

For this we will use the new pypackager 3.0. There isn’t currently no graphical interface (but the UI will be available in version 3.1).

PyGTKEditor is now availaible in fremantle extras-testing repository.

This is the first release for Fremantle. And this is also a complete rewrite from scratch. Right now the syntax hilight parser isn’t really optimized. But it ll be for a next release.

Do not forget to test and vote for it on Maemo Testing QA

I’m still working on the version 3.0 of PYGTKEditor.

For those which don’t know what is this application, let me resume it in few words : PyGTKEditor is a small source editor specially designed for onboard developpers.

PyGTKEditor 3.0 is a complete rewrite from scratch. Indeed, gtksourceview isn’t useable with PannableArea without a rewrite. Why using a PannableArea ? Because scrolling with small scrollbar is a pain on small interface. And using large scrollbar eat too many space on the screen, specially when re#ing source code. The other things which push me to rewrite it, is the graphical change in the Fremantle’s interface, which make many things hard to use, like the menu for example.

Currently the development is a bit slow as i ve to rewrite a complete source code parser for hilight, which is done now in full python. But as now the parser is written, open/save is working it ll be a bit faster.

The roadmap is the following :
- Support all language supported by gtksourceview for the hilight (DoneJ
- Save/Open/Open Recent (Done)
- Shortcut
- Execute python script from the editor
- Undo/Redo manager (done)
- Help
- Auto rotation based on accelerometers (Done)
- Icon
- Package
- Set mime type for hildon manager

- Search/Replace
