Welcome to Germany, Spotify

0 Kommentare
So, finally spotify made it to Germany.

If you tried to fetch the linux client, you  probably have noticed that nothing but the .deb is currently available.
You might also have tried to use alien, and get few requires not  met although the libraries are all where they should be.

Here's a quick x86_64 version:

spotify-client-qt-0.6.6.10.gbd39032.58-2.x86_64.rpm

(a 1:1 alien conversion plus a couple of Requires: adjusted to fit the bill) originated from spotify-client-qt_0.6.6.10.gbd39032.58-1_amd64.deb.

Tested on OpenSuSE 11.4 and SLES11sp1
I don't need a 32 bit package, but if you do, let me know: that can be arranged.
Works on my box, but feel free to give it a try if you feel lazy.

Code is not mine, all the usual terms and conditions of Spotify still apply: I just repackaged it.
If anyone has a problem with this, I'd gladly take if offline.

Octave segfaulting at start?

0 Kommentare
Just in case someone still tries to run octave on a SLE 10, let me warn you that 
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?30685 
is going to bite you.
A segfault awaits you behind the corner.

I've prepared a package that implements the (in)famous hack consisting of removing the gnulib:: namespace.
If you want to spare yourself some time, either fetch it from OBS or add this repo and feel free toping me in any update is needed/wanted.
