OPIE Finally Works With Original Sharp Zaurus ROM

Posted by timothy on Wednesday February 11, 2004 @03:53AM from the nice-news dept.

Werner Heuser writes " Thanks to the work of Michael Tuschik OPIE 1.0.3 is now available for the original ROMs provided by Sharp. OPIE is an Open Source User Interface and Apps for Linux PDAs built on Qt Embedded. You don't need a special version of "ipkg". Install via shipped package manager. Michael wrote at the OPIE mailing list: "NOTE: The Opie PIM applications will replace the original Sharp apps but use its own "old" data format (applies to Sharp ROM 3.1x and derivates). On uninstall the SHARP apps will be restored.""

One would hope that the sentence in the synopsis would help you figure out that:

"OPIE is an Open Source User Interface and Apps for Linux PDAs built on Qt Embedded."

You see that file called Packages?

That contains a list of all of the files in the directory, their dependencies, versions and a short description.

It might help.
