Qlix

Turns out I didn’t understand ubuntu’s packaging system and its stripping of debug symbols.  Some users have reported crashes and are having difficulty reporting backtraces due to the lack of debug symbols. Thus I have created a new debug package called qlix-dbg. This package contains the symbols only, and is not a completely different binary. The magic keystrokes are:

echo deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/caffein/ubuntu hardy main | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install qlix qlix-dbg

I’ve finally gotten a hang of ubuntu’s packaging system- which turns out to be easier than I expected. You can find my personal package archive here:

If you’re running Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) and are looking for instant gratification:
$ echo deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/caffein/ubuntu hardy main | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install qlix
With any luck we’ll see Qlix 0.3 in Intrepid Ibex

Qlix 0.2’s first beta has been tared up from svn, which incidently can be accessed via:

svn://svn.berlios.de/qlix/branches
