Hello ladies and gentlemen,
We at -embedded would like to introduce GPE - The G Palmtop Environment.
<<The GPE Palmtop Environment provides a user interface environment for
palmtop/handheld computers running the GNU/Linux or any other UNIX-like
operating system.>>
GPE is currently under active development, being version 2.8 already
very usable providing a modern mobile desktop environment.
We currently provide an eclass and ebuilds arranged by top level
categories following upstream categorization. Explicitly gpe.eclass and
top level gpe-base gpe-net gpe-pim gpe-games gpe-utils gpe-media
gpe-xsession.
We know we have a lot of them but upstream finds useful to classify them
like that and so do we. With the running discussion at -dev about new
top level categorization models and tagging system, maybe a better
solution is found.
The eclass and some ebuilds were based on bugzie #101393. We started
playing with them as big flat gpe-base category which evolved over time
by means of consecutive testing on ARMv5 handheld devices and needs.
Since we are maintaining this over half a year now, we think that its
time to finally starting moving step-by-step the GPE suite into the
portage tree - starting with the eclass and toplevel categories.
Sincerely,
/me in the name of the embedded team.
