Dear Friends, We have finished the code for WordForge 0.7, and we are now working on the installers. After solving a few problems with the tools (py2exe), we have been able to package 0.7 RC1 for Windows, and Rafi is doing the final testing to ensure that everything works as in Linux. For Python 2.5 on Linux, we seem to be able to create .deb packages, after solving a few issues with permissions, and eliminating all the code related to installation of libraries that we now consider as dependencies (Hunspell, pyEnchant, lxml...). What have we done with Leversthein, integrated or considered it as a dependency? Gonzalo comments that there are also a couple of lines in setup.py about management of dictionaries that are no longer used. The main issue seems to be using Python 2.6, which is included in some of the latest Linux distributions, without python 2.5. Gonzalo has been investigating the use of pythoncentral, which copies the files to /usr/share/pyshared/... independently of the version of python used. He has got retty good results with this on Debian and Ubuntu with 2.6, and can use the old version of setup.py that Javier Pais wrote, and it is not necessary to identify the version of python installed... except that for python 2.6 it is unable to detect the path for the images. The application works, but the images are not displayed. Gonzalo says that it is necessary to modify the paths for the images. Gonzalo, you have to do this by hand after you install? Does it work correctly after you do? Can you explain the step for using pythoncentral that you have used to create the .deb? Gonzalo proposes separate packages for different versions of the distributions. He will be sending some bugs that he has detected, which we should fix in RC2. Cheers, Javier |
