Debroglie's repository

A new platon is being uploaded as I type. Can you hear those electrons pinging about?

Enjoy!

I am looking around if a planet gathering rss feeds about crystallography or chemistry can be interesting. However, by looking at the websites of the software distributed here, none proposed rss feeds.

So, in the hypothesis I’ll set up a planet. Which feeds can I used? If you know any feeds that can be interesting, post it in a comment. If there is enough material, I’ll think about it.

PS: for those you don’t know what a planet is: in online media, Planet is a feed aggregator application designed to collect posts from the weblogs of members of an Internet community and display them on a single page. Here is an example: http://planet.fedoraproject.org/.

We must all congratulate Pascal on the fancy new look to debroglie.net, very nice.

There is a slight delay on the platon update as Ton has appeared to have altered the file structure a bit which I will have to update the SPEC to accommodate. Expect something this week though.

The new version of Fox is available for update (el5, fc10, fc11 and fc12). The package name is objcryst-fox as fox is already taken.

Debroglie had a hardware failure yesterday evening. The motherboard has been changed and Debroglie is running again. So far I have not seen any data loss.

f3d has been updated. It has now an entry in the menu and a dependence on htmlview has been added to handle the help pages.

The source from the rpm are different from the sources on the website. Sources on the original website will be updated.

Packages for centos are also available. The rpms will remain in the testing branch for a while. You need to activate the testing repository to install it : yum --enablerepo=debroglie-test install f3d

Updated

A new rpm is present in the test repository for fedora only. I have to modify a little bit the spec file for centos.

It is a program such as Michal Husak’s MCE is an invaluable tool, but one which is unfortunately only available for Windows.

F3D is designed to bring the same functionality to UNIX (and Linux) based computers, and includes many additional features. Many thanks are given to Michal for allowing us to use an early IRIX version of his program as a convenient starting point for the prototype of the program.

The program can be launch directly from platon.

Have a look at the homepage: http://www.cryst.chem.uu.nl/tooke/fourier3d/

Sorry world, it looks like I’ve missed two updates during Christmas and the New Year. Platon is currently building for all distros. Will upload later today.

I am very sorry, honest as because of this windows users went a head in the release info.

One final note this update is getting put into the test repo as it has been reported that squeez to be merging the data again.

This announcement is a reminder that as of 2009-12-17, Fedora 10 has
reached its end of life for updates.[1]

Debroglie will continue to ship updates for fedora 10 for a little while as statistics reveal some activity on the repo. Please send an email or post a comment to confirm, so we won’t close it.
