Hi everyone,

I just saw that some dev had worked this summer. :-D
Seeing that jBrout isn't regularly released, could someone make a snapshot ?
And place it in http://jbrout.free.fr/download/sources/ or in whatever
location you want, just share it.
Not everyone want to install svn.
THX


BTW, I read the changelog and saw the r351
"Update of the files included in the Windows standalone installer"
Does that mean that somewhere we got an up-to-date windows installer ?

Then you can install git ;) No, really, what's so difficult on running

sudo apt-get|yum|pacman|etc. install git

(git package takes only 20571316 bytes on my Fedora, and that includes
couple of copies of documentation and many many commands not needed for
everyday use)

and running

git clone g...@gitorious.org:jbrout/jbrout.git
cd jbrout/jbrout
./jbrout.py

If you cannot do that, I don't think your testing will be a valuable
contribution to the development anyway. Of course, if you are a normal
user, then the first step should be to bother your package maintainer
for doing better job in maintaining the package.

OK, that's the thing I really cannot help you with ... no Windows in my
family. It would be awesome if somebody here who has Windows and is able
to built the package stepped up and start to maintain the Windows
package. Please, do!

Why do you need a Windows package? ;)

Best,

Nothing, I usually copy the line given on the web page

Well, I'm quiet sure I'm not using jBrout for testing but for an every
day use of managing digital pictures.
I can do some advanced tests but I'll need guidances.

I AM the package maintainer or so. ;-)
I'm more or less only an advanced user.
It's for the AUR's archlinux repo.
The way I understand it I'm not the one who have to create the source
tarball, even a svn extraction.
In fact, I've got 2 packages :
- the "jbrout" from source or from "official svn extraction " in
jBrout's case
- the "jbrout-svn" which pull out the svn and need subversion as make
dependency.

You may get some inspiration from our Fedora package (git again ;)) at
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/jbrout.git/ (clone URL is
git://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/jbrout.git ... branch master is probably
the only one which you are interested in). jbrout.spec is the control
file for creation of RPM package. I hope it is not that difficult to read.

If the tarball is the only thing you are after then you can do just

curl -L -o jbrout-master.tar.gz
https://gitorious.org/jbrout/jbrout/archive/master.tar.gz

(you may need to try couple of times ... it failed for me on the first
attempt).

Unfortunately, I don't know about any way how to get the similar tarball
from the still truly official SVN on code.google.com.

Sure, I was half-joking ... my 75 year old mom is on Windows as well (I
have no heart to push here to something which she doesn't know).

Or, once you have a git clone, use git archive.

Anyway, at some point, any release is ultimately a snapshot (or any snapshot is a potential release, depending how you consider it).

Well... You could be surprised: i once installed debian 2.2 / afterstep for my aunt. One button for the modem, one for the mail, internet and to shutdown. She was occasionally frustrated not to be able to install the latest screensaver but otherwise... She could not break it, and it was light and simple.

Still http://jbrout.manatlan.com/download_win leads to r282. I would
think that the Windows installer is the most important one ... Unix (and
hopefully even Mac) people should be able to install SVN and remaining
stuff on their own. Situation of poor users of Windows is much more
desperate.
