devel packages installation

[boilerman]

I noticed this comment "Removed all the Dev-Tools and source code". what packages should be installed to be able to compile for instance wanpipe.

All of them

use aptitude, and select the development stuff, it'll solve all the dependencies and put them all back on. Its how I removed them in the first place

NOW that being said, I KEPT that system image. Its 1 gig download, decompress and flash. I have not posted it online because I had the fear i'd get hammered with bandwidth.

I'm looking at releasing that image or building two versions of PlugPBX, one with dev tools pre-installed, one without, so users could just compile what they need on the Plug.

I'm still waiting for my third sheevaplug (allocated for dev and testing work) to arrive and I can follow up on these plans..

If anyone wants to mirror the 'dev' version I'd be happy to make the disk image available sooner - you'd have all the sources etc I compiled from!

Anyone interested in this?

Any word on your new Sheevaplug delivery?

I ordered mine April 13th and still have not received it or a tracking number. I have emailed twice in the last few weeks and they tell me early June.

It said 2-3 week delivery when I ordered and I am now approaching 7 weeks!

I got most of the dev packages back in but i might have run into a jam. i'm trying to get the sangoma usbfxo running. It needs ncurses-devel and libtermcap-devel to comlete the install

I couldn't find these, do  they exist on your full system image?

I'm not sure... can't check easily unless I take down one of my Sheeva's and boot from the Dev SD card - and that would anger the Mrs

Curse my reliable home-brew infrastructure the family depends upon now

As far as ordering delays, last time me and a bunch of guys ordered 10 units we had around 6-7 weeks before they arrived, after a generic promised time of 2-3 weeks. I've talked with Globalscape directly about volume discounts, stocking, turn around times - and they sell the the things before they stock, most orders you are getting units as built from the factory - and there are part shortages and other delays at times - that's the story I just got on the Bulk order my unit is in on with even more friends this round.

They are too popular now, stop ordering them so I can get mine in a timely manner:P

Geez....

First you tell us to order one and help the development, now you are telling us not to order....

I would be interested in what other homebrew projects you have done with the sheevaplug.

I would like to set one up to monitor my alarm system and perhaps power to send me a text message if either goes off. I am also thinking about trying to do it with a router with a serial input as well.

I have my first linksys IP Phone at the office and have callcentric set up on one line. Once my Sheevaplug gets in I want to get the whole office switched to IP lines except maybe for a fax line. I hope they get them out soon!
