Growing in the shades
The Paroli Team wishes all of you a happy new year.
Our last update was a while back but development continued and, despite sickness, vacations, Christmas, New Year’s as well as jet lags, a lot has been accomplished.
Most importantly, you can now find a paroli package in the testing repository[1] which can be installed via opkg.
The package[2] is at pre-alpha state but the main phone functions are available and ready to be tested. Please note paroli is not considered a daily phone app, yet. You will find it can be rather unstable at times and might not always react the way you would expect ;) We hope that with the help of the community and lots of hard work we can reach a state where paroli can be considered reliable soon.
Information on how to run and use paroli can be found here[3]
We also have opened a new base for information, updates and bug tracking:
http://www.paroli-project.org
The main part is a blog which we will use to inform of small changes, publish tutorials and interesting facts we discover along the road. The page also contains a rough overview of our goals and how we plan to get there, it is a bit scarce right now, but will be filled up continuously.
Our new bug tracker resides at http://www.paroli-project.org/trac . It is rather virgin up to now so we encourage you to test paroli and note your findings ;)
We also moved our source repository which can now be found at:
http://git.paroli-project.org/?p=paroli.git;a=summary [4]
As you can see the paroli has great plans for 2009 and we hope some of you will join us and follow our efforts.

A rough overview about how this package differs from the last tichy package:
Tichy migrated into paroli-core and is now a vital part of paroli.
It is a slimmed down and more paroli focused version. Among other things EFL is now the default graphical library and the starting process has been optimized.Yaml was replaced with ParseConfig due to performance issues.Plus lots of other small, nifty details.

So after the ‘git clone’ command, what do I do to run it on the phone ?
Should I copy the whole ‘paroli/’-tree onto the phone ?
I’m building FSO locally, is this git-repository updated on openembedded or do I track it separately ?
I usually just do a ‘make update’ to fetch stuff that has been updated.
I look forward to running this on then phone, keep up the spirit :-)

Hej,
we are currently not in the fso tree. The easiest is probably just to install the paroli package, which until we move, resides at:
http://downloads.openmoko.org/repository/testing/armv4t/paroli_0.2+gitr33+89f5061ba37585e9f50e3c44f356655c37e7147d-r0_armv4t.opk
Any changes as to the location and the git will be announced on this blog :)

Hej :-)
I decided to give it a go, unpacked the tree on the Freerunner and ran the following commands:
python setup.py build
python setup.py install
Everything installed correctly but when I try to run tichy-launcher/paroli-launcher I get the following error:
root@om-gta02:~/paroli# tichy-launcher
root INFO read config file ./tichy.cfg
root INFO read config file /etc/tichy/tichy.cfg
root INFO read config file /home/root/.tichy/tichy.cfg
root INFO init gui
root INFO using backend paroli
root INFO connect to dbus
Traceback (most recent call last):

message, timeout)
dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied: Connection “:1.30″ is not allowed to own the service “org.tichy.launcher” due to security policies in the configuration file
So now I cant figure out how to proceed, do you have any hints/advise.

Hi,
which repository are you using? Seems like you are using a tichy repository. The current paroli can be found here:
http://git.paroli-project.org/?p=paroli.git
To checkout do a git clone from:
http://git.paroli-project.org/paroli.git
Then the build and install should work.

Could you consider changing the color scheme of the site? Can’t bring myself to read it, even though it seems like interesting news…
