Smile, you’re updated.

Friday, December 18th, 2009

After long time not working on it, and after some people asked me about the status of this package in Ubuntu, I’ve updated smile packages to the latest 1.0 version (and set up a ppa for “publishing” purposes).

Anyone can take it, test it and report any problems to me, considering that’s not in my higher priorities, though…

I dismissed Smile ITP, since I decided I don’t want to “officially package” smile, for a number of reasons (one of which is that I’m not using it anymore). Smile is currently in a “repositories limbo”, and so it’s out of both Debian and Ubuntu archives, thought it’s at least in four other different places: my ppa, Marillat’s repository, getdeb.net and revu (not considering the outdated one linked on smile homepage).

This piece of software definitely needs some love, and people willing to help can take our work and submit it to have eventually an official package… I said “our” as probably you’d want to contact Matthias as well, which uploaded it to GetDeb and worked with me. Or even better, you can talk with Marillat, and resurrect Debian Smile ITP.
