t is not advisable to use Ubuntu repositories with Debian. They are not compatible. Sure, you might get away with some things but it is not recommended. Besides, there is a repo for Debian already.

Code: Select all

deb http://www.edevelop.org/debian etch main
OR

Code: Select all

deb http://www.edevelop.org/debian unstable main
I can only imagine what sort of entertainment you might find if you were to actually mix the repositories.
I tried that first, but there is nothing in the etch one. I used the dapper one because it only installed new packages for me, didn't touch anything else when I installed e17, so I new it would be ok.

You're better off using Debian unstable on Etch than anything Ubuntu.

am lost.
I added the debian repo, installed all e17 pacakges via synaptic.
(but most packages are 'virtual' and the file listing does not have a path to the binary)

I cant seem to find any of the binaries to start e17.

Pointers?

thx for the reply mzilikazi :)
Yup, same repo. And am sure I selected all those in synaptic.

Anyways, I removed them and am in the process of compiling using the easy_e17 script. Fingers crossed ;)

Hi Ya!

Just thought I'd pop in & say hi. I've been running e17 since '05, and I've installed it, from source, on woody, Linspire-5.0, sarge, Freespire-1.0 & 2.0, gNewSense, etch and lenny (my daily ride) as well as a few others. The thing is, my current lenny version doesna look much different then my first install on woody. Here is a link to the CNR-Warehouse site which I added some screen shots of Enlightenment to the other day.

I must say despite my tendency for installing from source, I've learned quit a bit from this thread, thanks.

Cheers

Are you sure that you use debian etch repo like so:

Code: Select all

deb http://www.edevelop.org/debian etch main
If this doesn't work, I would suggest that you use either debian lenny (testing) or debian sid (unstable) repo since E17 is still in developmental stage.

I think that the Sid repo is the only one that gets any updates. The stable and testing repos are dead.

http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?p=43644#43644 here says that sid repo. works on etch.
I guess i will have to install e17 in an alternative way than apt-get install e17....

I tend to build e17 from source (I know that it can be a bit labour intensive, but it usually works) because the cvs is more up to date. I did write a wee how to for freespire, Installing Enlightenment DR-17. It is now of course a bit out dated (there is a surprise) but I have used it to build e17 on etch & lenny as well as some other deb based distros. Any errors that seem to come up usually just requireres an apt-get <what is missing> to continue.

I haven't been using E17 lately. I only have E17 in Sid repo, had it in etch a long time ago but not now.

Enlightment's homepage got a new look:
http://www.enlightenment.org/
Currently Enlightenment 0.17 (known as E17) is under development with a TODO list that is being worked on for release. The base libraries it depends on EFL (Enlightenment Foundation Libraries) are very mature and stable. There are other applications that use these too. E17 itself is primarily available via CVS.

But despite this, the stable release of Enlightenment (the 0.16 series) is still alive and maintained. It is not dead and does undergo feature adds, fixes and improvements.
There should be enlightenment (E16) in Etch repo:
http://packages.debian.org/stable/x11/enlightenment

Don't use the edevelop.org repo, use the debian etch repo instead for E16.

Stable is meant to only get changes from crippling bugs and security updates (except of course when the stable link is moved to point to a new debian release)

Testing normally gets most stuff not too long after unstable, the exception is when a transition (such as the recent libc one) blocks things up.

Security updates and crippling bugs? We are talking about E17. There are crippling bugs all the time. I think you misunderstood me...

E17 - debian Etch

Hello guys!
I know this is an old topic but I got confused when I see those posts. I want to install E17 on my Etch box, all I need is step by step. I have been looking on google all the day but I didn't see anything useful. :(
I'll be more than happy if someone can guide me step by step. Hope I will get a reply soon.

First of all thank you for responding. Yes, I want it but I'm not so sure that I will make it.
I don't have nothing installed yet, I used the netinst iso image and I didn't select Desktop Environment so I just want a clean E17.

Cheers
