RPMs for the Pad 2

Posted on November 1st, 2006 in .

B1B

Another excellent lightweight GTK+ program for FTP/FTPS, SSH/SFTP, HTTP, and FSP file transfers. Makes a quick and dirty file manager too. This package requires my IceWM Menu Builder RPM to be installed.

B2B

An excellent Mahjongg tile matching program in pure X. This package requires my IceWM Menu Builder RPM to be installed.

B3B

A classic collection of 9 solitaire card and tile games in pure X. This package requires my IceWM Menu Builder RPM to be installed first so that the games will be added to your IceWM menu! This was built from the CVS snapshot of Ace Solitaire.

B4B

ImageMagick is a software suite to create, edit, and convert bitmap images. This build of ImageMagick is fairly complete for most uses, but it doesn’t support some image formats you might expect, namely SVG and PostScript. However is does include ‘import’ which will finally let Pad 2 users easily make screenshots! You only need the first one to actually use it – the rest are strictly for developers.

B5B

A highly-touted e-book reader supporting many formats (fb2, HTML, Plucker, Palmdoc, zTxt, TCR, RTF, CHM, OEB, Mobipocket) and features (resizing, full-screen mode, rotate, and more). Many thanks to Pepper forum user / fbreader developer MishaS for providing the SRC RPM that I used.

B6B

An SMB/CIFS/Windows Network browsing program! Will let you easily browse Windows shares and mount/unmount them. Requires the GTK+ 1.2.10 RPM below.

B7B

“Screen is a full-screen window manager that multiplexes a physical terminal between several processes, typically interactive shells. ” — GNU Screen home page. I couldn’t have said it better myself. A must for anyone who lives in terminal-land like I do.

B8B

A simple GTK+ calculator application with a paper tape history. It’s still a bit buggy on the Pepper – don’t try changing any font preferences.

B9B

A powerful and customizable GTK2 based file manager with a classic two-pane interface. Installs to /usr/bin/emelfm2. Shouldn’t require any special RPMs to be installed. This package is for Pepper Software version 2.1.1

B10B

Provides vncviewer vncconfig vncserver vncpasswd x0vncserver. You will likely be the most interested in vncviewer. x0vncserver is supposed to be a crude VNC server which polls an X display. Compatible with Pepper Software version 2.1 and higher, please choose the correct version below

B11B

Allegro is a cross-platform game programming library. Pretty sweet. Compatible with Pepper Software version 2.1 and higher

B12B

GTK+ library version 1.2.10. Useful for building older GTK+ based apps. Requires glib 1.2.10, provided in /opt/montavista/pro/devkit/arm/xscale_le/packages/pro/ – it might even be installed by default, I can’t remember. This version has been updated to work with Pepper Software version 2.1.1 and 3.0

Keeper 3.0:

Keeper 2.1.1:

    Hi there. How about a simple editor port for those who like to compose offline, like gedit , joe, or whatever?
