what all does "bluray bounty" entail? HDCP? Where all does that need to go, gfx drives, movie players, elsewhere in the OS? Disc filesystem of course. What else is required? We need to determine if this can be done by a bount person, or if more intetration in various parts of the OS is required where we outsiders cannot go.

I don't think the Xcore chip will improve over time at general processing tasks. I think it will continue to be a pathway to different IO connections.

@Helgis

From what I've read of the Xcore, I wouldn't use it as a general processor chip. It sounds much more like a device that gives you programmable IO pins. You can program the chip to behave like an IDE port, or to behave like a SCSI port, or to behave like SATA, an audio chip, ethernet MAC, USB controller, Zorro slot, etc. etc. But for algorithmic computing to run general software on, I don't think it will be strong in that usage.

Myself, I think I'll change it to Amiga 1X1000 and save two characters with my clever compression algorithm.

Seriously, I'll likely just call it X1000. Maybe some will do X1K.

Chrome has a version of XMarks as well, so easy going between Chrome and Firefox (and thus Timberwolf?)

@Helgis

Not sure what all Mozilla imports from, but it does ask if you want to at least from MSIE when installed. Then use Xmarks addon to Firefox to share and upload to server, then hopefully Timberwolf will be able to run addons and use Xmarks to sync up with the server.

If Firefox doesn't import from Chrome, then surely someon ehas made a script or something somewhere out there.

I defer my answer until such time that we know what the heck it is. (CPU, etc. specs and price that are still unknown)

? TYhis was a reply to the Do you want an X1000 thread. How'd I get lost?

I think that if we manage to get someone interested in OpenOffcie port, that we should require whatever current release is, not leave it at the ancient 2.0 version of OOO as mentioned on the port project site. If someone begins today, then do 3.2.

@retro

AmiCygnix as a wrapper??

Personally, I'd love to see an OSX-PPC wrapper comparable to Wine on Linux as well.

@Helgis

OpenOffice 3.2 has now been released for the supported platforms.

http://download.openoffice.org/

As I understood, there was a lot of work to be done to implement GTK2 on AmigaOS as a prerequisite for OpenOffice. I'm sure some people would want a more native Reaction or MUI version of OpenOffice to be created, and I'm not sure if the work in doing that fromt eh start is more or less than first doing GKT2, then a more direct OpenOffice port. And later after things work on GTK2, then perhaps converting from our own GTK2 to a more native Reaction/MUI implementation.

Perhaps at this point AmiCygnix could be used as a stepping stone until a mor enative AmigaOS version is done. I know he has ported some other open-source tools, but OpenOffice has more brand recognition from a somehat wider audience than Abiword or Gnumeric do, for better attention outside of our Amiga community.

A serious ton of work either way around.

And all that was for OOO 2.something. OOO is now close to releasing version 3.2. If anyone does pick up this huge project, I'd like to see it as recent OOO version as possible.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/amiopenoffice/
The very very little that is there is very very old.

This shows a link to http://amigaopenoffice.org/ and that web page gives a forbidden access error.

There is a bounty suggested for it here
http://amigabounty.net/?function=viewproject&projectid=45
but I guess no one has been interested in taking it on, as it's not progressed even to the "unassigned" status.

Any discussion on which open-source GUI frontend for GDB, or if a from-scratch new GUI is preferred, should the relevant bounty be opened? I posted a quick list of existing open-source frontends I found on wikipedia in the bounty comments. It's probably not complete.

http://amigabounty.net/?function=viewcomments&projectid=47

There are a number of bounties suggested at amigabounty.net now for Java. It's been broken down into a few different sub-bounties to try and make things more reasonable.

Please continue providing any suggestions toward this goal.

@kas1e

There's an amigabounty request for GDB to update to latest GNU release and make it work well.

http://www.amigabounty.net/?function=viewproject&projectid=54


There's also a separate bounty for a GUI interface to GDB.

Actually, someone had suggested a bounty for GDB some time ago, already on teh amigabounty.net site. #47.

@LiveForIt

Isn't SnoopDos similar to strace? I've only used strace a couple times so don't know it well, but I used it for similar things that I've used snoopdos for, which I also have not used extensively to know it well.

Snoopdos was compiled for OS4. perhaps it needs some updating to work better in the OS4.x series?

@nbache

Perhaps a quick & dirty AmiCygnix port is in order?

From the DDD site:


Hmmm, the public SDK for AmiCygnix allows GTK and Athena. The system claims compatibility with OpenMotif and some other not yet public SDK things though, so it should be possible. I'd hate to interrupt CygnusEd's work on AMP package, but perhaps we can encourage he consider public SDK for these other APIs when he has some free time...

@nbache

a GUI would surely be good to have. Would DDD be a reasonable inclusion in a GDB bounty, or would it make more sense to have a followup bounty for the GUI?

Yet another bounty thread...

I understand that the OS4 port of GDB is somewhat out of date, and also somewhat buggy. What are the complaints about the current version, and what needs done to bring it up to snuff with the rest of the world?
