<qwebirc58386>
what is the current state of wiki reader programs?
<wolfspraul>
qwebirc58386: I don't think very usable at all
<qwebirc58386>
:(
<qwebirc58386>
any projects in progress?
<wolfspraul>
but I haven't tried in a while
<wolfspraul>
he, yes. all over the place. :-)
<wolfspraul>
but if you are asking about openzim in particular, or fast openzim viewers, or actual openzim files, I think it's all slow
<wolfspraul>
I think most work right now is still in the lower levels, reflashing, u-boot, kernel, openwrt rootfs, debian & jlime, porting console apps, working on gui toolkits (quite a lot of work around qt4 for example)
<wolfspraul>
I assume you just want to _use_ offline wikis, now :-)
<wolfspraul>
so then the answer is: doesn't work
<wolfspraul>
if you want to help hacking, wow, yes, many places you can start
<wolfspraul>
the openzim team doesn't look very active to me, for example
<kristianpaul>
wikipedia dumps are small compareted to get zim files in order to read
<wolfspraul>
kristianpaul: are you using this on a NanoNote?
<kristianpaul>
wolfspraul: dint try it yet cause rquire X
<wolfspraul>
I like this concept, reuse the existing dumps that are already produced for all wikis today
<kristianpaul>
indeed
<wolfspraul>
no need to always reinvent the wheel with yet another dump format
<wolfspraul>
one of the many reasons why the openzim project seems stuck
<kristianpaul>
actully the sofware make an index of the dump so is easy to read after that
<wolfspraul>
sure I can imagine, the key design idea first is to accept the data in the format that is most widely available today
<wolfspraul>
:-)
<wolfspraul>
and they got that right :-)
<wolfspraul>
then build on top of that
<kristianpaul>
also they uses comond gnu tools like grep
<wolfspraul>
I am wondering whether we can get this to work on the NanoNote
<wolfspraul>
our screen estate is super valuable, so it has to be content only
<wolfspraul>
nothing wasted for widgets and stuff
<wolfspraul>
text only would be fine as a first step, if it would only work, and would be fast
<kristianpaul>
i'll write to de debel asking for command line version just to wonder what respond
<kristianpaul>
s/devbel/devel
<wolfspraul>
qwebirc58386: so there you go, I wasn't aware of this project and it's not fit for NN today, but still maybe that's another more promising angle
<wolfspraul>
yes definitely
<kristianpaul>
sent
<kristianpaul>
this reder uses grep zcat and other gnu tools :)
<kristianpaul>
s/reder/reader
<wolfspraul>
kristianpaul: let's get something like that to the NanoNote
<wolfspraul>
then we don't have to wait forever for the elusive openzim solution
<wolfspraul>
kristianpaul: k I'm out, thanks for the link to this interesting project. too many things going on...
<kristianpaul>
wolfspraul: bye
<zhangyi>
kristianpaul: hi, have you checked our spanish flier?
<zhangyi>
kristianpaul: how do you like it? Am I do it right with the text?
<kristianpaul>
zhangyi: hey
<kristianpaul>
zhangyi: i reply the mail 10 seconds ago ;)
<kristianpaul>
zhangyi: i like
<kristianpaul>
i see there small error and the in contact box
<zhangyi>
kristianpaul: aha, yes, just got the mail :)
<zhangyi>
kristianpaul: thanks! i will fix the error
<zhangyi>
kristianpaul: i plan to send it to printing shop on Monday. hopefully, it comes out good
<kristianpaul>
zhangyi: cool
<kristianpaul>
btw  i liked:  DIY? Do it togheter
<zhangyi>
kristianpaul: you mean the sticker?
<kristianpaul>
zhangyi: yes
<zhangyi>
kristianpaul: oh, good. we haven't settled on stickers yet
<urandom_>
you have selected xburst in make menuconfig?
<xakh>
yup
<urandom_>
wiki says "when you run make menuconfig, select some useful looking unselected package and make it an 'M', and make sure you can compile/install it" so try this
<xakh>
???
<xakh>
so try to install an app from inside the menu, you mean?
<urandom_>
run menuconfig
<urandom_>
yeah
<xakh>
so I hit M
<xakh>
how do I make it....
<xakh>
like, go?
<urandom_>
it has to have an <M> in the list and then just exit und save and type make
<xakh>
so I have to make again?
<xakh>
*groans*
<urandom_>
it will rebuild everything and the package yeah :P
<xakh>
that took forever last time
<xakh>
will it take that long this time?
<urandom_>
it will, wait
<xakh>
hmm
<urandom_>
or
<urandom_>
you could search for a package already includet and do the make package/gnuchess/compile V=99 stuff
<xakh>
>:(
<xakh>
I already started make
<urandom_>
i remember it tool only half an hour for you
<urandom_>
or wasnt that you?
<xakh>
it took a bit longer
<xakh>
but it's done now
<xakh>
:O
<xakh>
but it still says "m" next to the package I added
<xakh>
is it supposed to change?
<urandom_>
dont think so
<xakh>
okay then.
<xakh>
so what now?
<urandom_>
so we know you can compile shit
<xakh>
woot.
<urandom_>
you could just edit the makefile of the app you just compiled to the leafpad one and try again
<xakh>
augh have headache.
<urandom_>
yeah cross compiling sucks
<urandom_>
ah shit i know what we forgot
<urandom_>
have you done /scripts/feeds update and all?
<xakh>
yeah
<xakh>
do I need to do it again?
<urandom_>
when you changed feeds.conf.default to feeds.conf have you done it again?
<xakh>
no I didn't
<urandom_>
so thats the problem
<xakh>
what's the command I need?
<urandom_>
./scripts/feeds update
<urandom_>
./scripts/feeds install -p mutroxports
<urandom_>
mutroxports should be changed to you dir
<xakh>
package,
<xakh>
package/leafpad?
<xakh>
leafpad?
<xakh>
which directory?
<xakh>
sorry, confused
<urandom_>
no problem, give me your path to your leafpad makefile and i will tell
<xakh>
alright
<xakh>
it's /home/xakh/openwrt/package/leafpad
<urandom_>
so leafpad it is
<xakh>
so I say .scripts/feed install -p leafpad?
<urandom_>
yeah
<xakh>
okay
<xakh>
it did a buncha stuff
<xakh>
then where do I look for it?
<urandom_>
now leafpad should be in menuconfig
<urandom_>
you might also need to do make package/symlinks but first look
<xakh>
nothing
<xakh>
I'm going to try remaking
<urandom_>
make package/symlinks
<xakh>
and I'm going to go get something to drink, help clear my head
<urandom_>
just do make package/symlinks first
<urandom_>
and look again
<urandom_>
and yeah drinking might help
<xakh>
unfortunately
<xakh>
I'm in the States
<xakh>
I can't get anything alcoholic. ._.
<xakh>
just going to get a massive frozen drink and a hot dog or something.
